\"DOLLR3_F\"<\/a>The Rich\u00a0 Man.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hear this you people living here, All people in the world give ear,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m telling you with all my heart, To\u00a0 trust in God and take a part;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who trust in only wealth, Will find their soul soon has no health;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They cannot save their brother\u2019s soul, They cannot make him to be whole.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter who, we all must die, And meet our Maker up on high,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our wealth is left with what we\u2019ve gained, And others waste all that remained. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

People think to leave their name, On their estates will keep their fame,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Riches cannot take their soul, To the One who makes them whole.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tis only God who can redeem, Who takes us into heaven\u2019s gleam.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not fret o\u2019er those made rich, They cannot take with them\u00a0 one stitch!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Their glory fades and fame will pale, For in their death all else will fail.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are no better than a beast, That perishes with all that\u2019s least.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How true this psalm is! Those who never give God a thought during their life time have nothing to look forwards to in the next life. Some say boastfully that they have lived without God and they will die without Him, while the best that others can look forwards to is being reincarnated as a donkey or some other animal! But when they come to the point of no return, they cry out in horror at what they can see ahead of them. There is nothing sadder than the cry of “Too late!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
