THINGS MONEY CAN'T BUY
Copyright 1997/Donna M. Davis

Money can't buy peace of heart
A second chance or a brand new start
Rest for the soul when your heart is weary
A ray of sunshine when the day is dreary
Health when you're sick, youth when you're old
The love of one, whose love has grown cold

Money can't buy a heartfelt embrace
The innocent smile on a child's little face
Life at death's door, time when it's past
Joy when you're sad, first place when you're last
Friends when you're lonely, the sweet breath of life
The love of a husband or the love of a wife

Money can't buy courage or might
A time of peace when it's time to fight
Rain in a drought or dry in a flood
One precious drop of Jesus Christ's blood
Exemption from pain, freedom from worry
An extra hour in a day when you're in a hurry

Money can't buy loyalty or joy
The innocent heart of a girl or a boy
Experience and wisdom gained thru the years
Strength in your weakness, peace thru your fears
Faith when you doubt, right when you're wrong
The sweet sound of music when there isn't a song

Money can't buy the changing of fate
Like a soul that is lost when it is too late
An okay from God when you won't give up sin
Salvation from Christ if you won't let Him in
If you're living your life in hatred and strife
You can't buy a page in the Lamb's Book of Life

Money can't buy the things that are dear
Emotions, devotions, or a life of good cheer
Bountiful blessings God gives us for free
Cannot be purchased with money, you see
So, if we would hope for a prosperous way
Hope on things that won't rust or decay

The spilled blood of Jesus has bought what we need
In Him is security, from death we've been freed
No hungering or thirsting if righteousness we seek
Clothes for the poor, strength for the weak
You won't need your wallet to pay for your part
All you must do is give Him your heart
