Charity and Greed
Greed is in the mind
Charity comes from the heart
It’s a pull and push
Where is your brother?
Am I my brother’s keeper?
God is not amused
Abraham sets feast
When God’s angels come to call
Mercy for sinners
Lot opens his home
To the angels sent by God
He gives protection
Sold into slavery
By brothers with greedy hearts
Charity returned
Greed fills up their hearts
These evil men of Sodom
And they are struck blind
Defied her father
Drew a baby from the Nile
Princess charity
Lazarus poor man
Begs crumbs from rich man’s table
Abraham’s bosom
Greedy is this man
He now begs for charity
His greed was his doom
Love of silver coins
Judas betrays in his greed
Seals it with a kiss
Soldiers casting lots
Their greed is established here
They darken their souls
Carries our burdens
Also our iniquities
In His nail scared hands
Jesus dies for all
God’s ultimate charity
He dies in our stead
Gives the gift of love
Salvation for all mankind
So He shed His blood
