Worldly riches I have none,
But I am rich; I belong to God’s
Son.
I do not have a fancy name, it never
Flew the flag of fame.
But the one that lives through me,
All glory is His name.
I do not desire wealth; money cannot,
Buy me love.
I know what I have are blessings all,
From God above!
Prosperity is not prospering with those,
Things from earth below!
But spiritual blessings from Heaven,
In its constant flow!
Worldly riches, I have none but I am,
So free!
My burden is not what I possess,
Doesn’t entangle me.
So my burden is lighter as each,
Day goes by.
I know I can’t take with me worldly,
Riches when I die.
Prosperity is Spiritual riches in God’s
Abundant grace.
I enjoy them now and forever when,
I see His face.
1 Tim.6: 6-7
V.6 But godliness with contentment is great
gain.
V.7 For we brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
