Greed

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi

We crave attention
Thirst for applause and acclaim
The trappings of fame
What others have, we covet
Fame fortune in our buckets
 
We’re selfish creatures
All for us, we want we need
Our hearts full of greed
It’s for this world that we lust
Knowing in the end we’re dust
 
But if we must be greedy
It’s for God’s grace we should be!
For the world brings perdition
But in God there’s salvation
 
Greedy we should be
For God’s love and His mercy
Wretches such as we
May we learn to love others
Treat everyone as brothers
 
Greedy we should be
For His holy written Word
May we hear the Truth
And follow His instructions
To guide us to salvation
 
Greedy we should be
For the many promises
He’s given to us
These promises we must claim
To be happy in His name
