Ministry

You say you want to serve The Lord
You need a ministry
Using gifts that you have got
To set the captives free
Find a role to suit your aims
It all goes swimmingly
Now you're leading from the front
In perfect harmony.

Then finances take a dive
You lose your part time job
Trusting in The Lord is key
Emotions start to bob
devil says you won't survive
You sink into the pit
Giving up your ministry
Is bound to help a bit.

Money is a stronghold
It clamps you like a vice
Look around at all the birds
They always turn out nice
God will keep us all afloat
In fact, we only sink
When we take our eyes off Him
And at the world we blink.
