Beware

Be on your guard! Watch out! Beware! Take heed!
Covetousness is like the sin of greed
Be on your guard! Watch out! Take heed! Beware!
Don’t let it catch you in its snare!

 Jesus told the parable of a man who could see
That his ground had brought forth quite plentifully
“All this food I have,” he thought, “but no place to store
I have enough -- but I want MORE!”

 “I know what I’ll do,” he said, “I’ll pull down my barns
And I’ll build even bigger ones on all of my farms;
I’ll sit back and enjoy what I have stored up for me
I’ll eat, drink and merry I will be!”

 Chorus

 But God said, “You fool, this night your soul will be required;
Your money will belong to other people who you hired.”
So is he who puts himself and riches on the throne
But is not rich toward God alone.

 Chorus
