Neither Riches

[Cyberseeker]

A song I wrote years ago based on Proverbs 30 (KJV) ...

Give me neither riches, nor poverty
Lest I being full, deny thee:
Lest I be poor, and steal.
Set my roof above my head, Lord,
Place my feet on the ground.
Satisfy my soul with bread Lord.
Let your grace abound.

verse 1 (Prov 30:7,8)
Two things have I required thee
Deny them not before I die
Remove from me, vanity,
And the speaking of a lie.

Give me neither riches, nor poverty
Lest I being full, deny thee:
Lest I be poor, and steal.
Set my roof above my head, Lord,
Place my feet on the ground.
Satisfy my soul with bread Lord.
Let your grace abound.

verse 2   (Prov 30:15)
The horse leach has two daughters
They cry give and give again.
They've never tried to be satisfied
Though they're causing others pain.

Give me neither riches, nor poverty
Lest I being full, deny thee:
Lest I be poor, and steal.
Set my roof above my head, Lord,
Place my feet on the ground.
Satisfy my soul with bread Lord.
Let your grace abound.

verse 3   (Phil 4:11)
I have learned in whatsoever
State I am to be content
Sufficiency, with a heart set free
I know, is Heaven-sent.

Give me neither riches, nor poverty
Lest I being full, deny thee:
Lest I be poor, and steal.
Set my roof above my head, Lord,
Place my feet on the ground.
Satisfy my soul with bread Lord.
Let your grace abound.

Sufficiency with a heart set free. To have this......is to have entered into your rest.
