[D] It's this song that looks at the topic of money and what Jesus had to say about that.
It's called A Rich Young Man, so please jump in when you get it.
[G] [A] [D]
A rich young man [G] came to ask of Christ,
Your teacher will [D] you tell me,
What must [G] I do for eternal life?
I've [A] kept your law [D] completely,
[G]
[D] Sell all you [Em] have, [A] give to the poor,
[G] Then heaven's treasure [A] shall be yours.
[D] How hard [G] for those who are rich on earth,
To gain [A] the wealth [D] of heaven.
[Em] [G]
[A] [D] Now Jesus sat by [G] the offering gate,
As people [A] brought [D] their money,
The rich they filled the [G] collection plate,
The [A] widow gave [D] a penny,
[G] [D] Now she's [Em] out given [A] all the rest,
[G] [D] Her gift [Em] was all [A] that she possessed,
[D] Not what you give [G] but what you keep,
Is what [A] the king [D] is counting.

Now teach [A] me Lord,
[D] Oh teach me Lord to [G] walk this road,
The road [D] of sinful living,
To be content with [G] what I own,
[D] Generous and giving,
[G] And [D] when I [Em] cling to [A] what I have,
[G] Please [D] arrest and [Em] quit [A] my ground.
[D]
I'd rather [G] lose all the things of earth,
To gain [D] the things of heaven.

To be content [G] with what I own,
[A] [D] Generous and giving,
And when [Em] I cling to [A] what I have,
[G] Please [Em] arrest and quit my [A] ground.
[D] I'd rather [G] lose all the things of earth,
To gain the [D] things of heaven.

To gain the [A] things [D] of heaven.
