Analysis of Rich
What does it mean to be rich?
Full of material objects,
Like money at the top of the list?
I would rather be poor
than filled with greed and corruption.
It's causing a violent eruption.
Things on this earth
do not compare to Your love.
It's everlasting and never passing
I wanna be rich with Your love.
It tears men apart
and causes neighbors to fight.
Mr. Green is a thief in the night.
All we need, is not made by man.
It's much more valuable and eternal.
