Mercenery Man

Well you're a self made man just tryin' to earn your own way

And you're living your spiritual life in a very comparable way...

You want what's comin' to you- You want your just reward

For the time that you've invested in serving the Lord.

What you gonna do- when you gonna learn

That the debt you owe is far more than you can earn?

As you store up earthly treasure don't neglect eternity

Don't force your spirit to go without-What the Lord offers you is free

You can't lose and you can't save it- But you can have it today

You can use it you know he gave it so you could give it away.

You can sing because you're happy and sing because you're free

His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me.

1985
