Lord, i could use some money

Dear Lord, You know I love You,

And I know money ain't the goal,

You said treasures up in Heaven

Are the riches of the soul.

But my bank account is fasting,

It's been fasting way too long,

So I'm sending up this prayer, Lord —

Maybe something went wrong.

I don't need a golden mansion,

Or a diamond-covered throne,

But a house without a mortgage?

Lord, I wouldn't say no.

You feed every little sparrow,

You dress the lilies too,

So while You're handling creation...

Could You check my balance too?

Lord, I could use some money,

Hallelujah, just a little more!

Not enough to lose my soul,

Just enough to buy that Porsche!

Maybe black, maybe white,

Heated seats would be divine,

I promise I'll still go to church, Lord —

I'll just get there right on time!

Money cannot buy me Heaven,

Can't buy love or peace of mind,

But it can buy a beach vacation...

And Lord, that's also kinda nice.

I'd buy a kitchen with an island,

And a fridge that makes its own ice,

A robot doing laundry —

Sweet Jesus, that sounds nice!

I'd buy shoes I don't need,

I'd buy caps covered in diamonds,

Shining brighter than the sun,

Do I really need a dozen?

No... but Lord, they'd sure be fun!

I know greed can be a problem,

Yes, I've read Timothy,

So I don't wanna love the money...

It can simply live with me.

(Lead:)Can money buy me happiness?

(Choir:) NO!

(Lead:) Can money buy salvation?

(Choir:) NO!

(Lead:) Can money heal my soul?

(Choir:) NO!

(Lead:) Can money buy a Porsche?

(Choir:) ...YES, IT CAN!

Dear Heavenly Father,

You know my heart.

You know my needs.

You know my bills.

You even know what's sitting

in my online shopping cart.

Give me wisdom when I have plenty,

Contentment when I have less,

And help me always share

whatever You choose to bless.

...and if it is Your will, Lord,

a Porsche 911.

Amen.

Lord, I could use some money,

But I know what matters most,

Not the Gucci, not the mansion,

Not the perfect life we post.

'Cause the richest things You've given

Can't be bought with any gold:

Faith and hope and love forever —

Those are treasures for the soul.

Still, Lord, if You send some money,

I won't argue, I agree!

Cash or transfer, unexpected —

I'm quite flexible, You see!

You're everything I need...

(But Lord... You heard the Porsche part.)

Amen.
