Holding fast to our possessions
finding security in our stuff
these things blocking
the centrality of the Christ
Trusting in our energies
that we may do it all
Our wealth, our gifts
the work of human hands
Setting up humanity
as if we are the beginning the end
forgetting the creator
our trust should be in him
