Storing Up When We Should Give – v2

A foolish man, so the Word calls the rich man
his new silos, full, bursting; but empty

His life for the work, for storing up, preparing only
for the rest of this life, his time on this mortal coil

When the master calls, he is empty, unprepared
for his appointment with destiny

Storing up, when he should give
calling on this man, suddenly,
why did he store when he should give

When God would provide
all he, all we ever need
