Verse 1
A rich young man came to ask of Christ
Good teacher will You tell me
What must I do for eternal life
I've kept Your laws completely
Sell all you have give to the poor
Then heaven's treasure shall be yours
How hard for those who are rich on earth
To gain the wealth of heaven
Verse 2
Now Jesus sat by the offering gate
As people brought their money
The rich they filled the collection plate
The widow gave a penny
Now she's out-given all the rest
Her gift was all that she possessed
Not what you give but what you keep
Is what the King is counting
Verse 3
O teach me Lord to walk this road
The road of simple living
To be content with what I own
And generous in giving
And when I cling to what I have
Please wrest it quickly from my grasp
I'd rather lose all the things of earth
To gain the things of heaven
