Come On Home: Parables Jesus Told - Mary Rice Hopkins
Lyrics
There was a very greedy guy
Who thought he had so much
He was rich yet he was poor
'Cause he said, "I don't have enough"
So he filled his barn up to the brim
But then he built a bigger barn
But he did not share his crop with his friends
Or invite them to his farm
Chorus:
'Cause you can be rich but very poor
When you're always wanting for more
'Cause you can be rich but very poor
When you're always wanting for more
The harvest came but he didn't change
He would always fuss and fume (oh poo)
About needing a storage place
For his crops he had to make room
But one day he keeled over (uh)
I think he might have died
But the sad thing is that no one knew
And no one even cried
So don't store up your treasures
Set your mind on things above
By our hearts he'll measure
How we share God's love
(Repeat Chorus)

But all we have, all we have
All we have is from the Lord
