The Great Pretenders R Aylor We dress like we’re rich and drive fancy cars We critique last nights episode of dancing with the stars We raise up our nose with an air of dissent While our cable is canceled and we can’t pay the rent Yet some live like Granny and ole Jed Clampett They may own half the country while they live in a pit They go to a garage sale wearing their old crumpled hat Saying “Will ya take a quarter for that antique porcelain Australian wombat?” The poor know you can’t squeeze money from a poverty stricken debtor The rich know people want their money so they act like a penniless beggar But God knows its not all about the way you’re perceived He’s the greatest treasure in the Universe He died for you, he took your curse The more of him you give away, the bigger your purse And you’ll want him riding with you in that long black hearse It’s all about him who will lavish great riches on all who believe Yes Jesus died then strangely after three days The earth rumbled the stone rolled and he came out from the grave He gives us that same strong power to conquer our own detestable sin And one day he’ll raise us up with him when he comes again Proverbs 13:7 One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
