The Silver And Gold Is Mine
Many ounces of silver and gold have been found Some in gurgling rivers and beneath the ground God placed all that silver and gold there I just found a silver dime under my chair It is amazing where silver and gold can turn up Gold has been fashioned into many a pretty cup Tons of gold and silver have been lost in the sea Treasure hunters will dive for it for a hefty fee Man does not really own the silver and gold Through the ages much has been bought and sold Without gold or silver man came from the womb And he can't take any with him to his tomb He dies and leaves his gold and silver for others to use Much of it is spent on gambling, sport and booze Not a single silver or gold coin is of use in death It is all left behind when man draws his last breath Greed has been the downfall of many a nation and man Some lost their life over that gold nugget in that little pan Life on earth is very uncertain and is very short Where are all those people who built the Knox Fort I know that God is the owner of all the silver and gold He even has gold paved streets in heaven it is told So remember that the gold and silver is not your own It was given to you from God as a temporary loan Treasures laid up in heaven are safe and secure Turn your eyes upon Jesus and from gold's alure He'll give you peace of mind that thieves cannot steal And life eternal in heaven that is O so real Copyright 2005 Irvin L.
