Root Of All Evil
Root Of All Evil
"For what is a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose
his soul? Or what shall he give in
exchange for his soul? Matt. 16:26
The love of money
Is a powerful lure---
God knows what we'd do
For a few dollars more.
Some lie, cheat, and steal,
Or do 'most anything
For all of the joys
They think money will bring.
Each man has his price
For which he would stray;
For which he would throw
All his scruples away.
What does a man profit,
(As the Bible foretold)
To gain the whole world,
If he loses his soul?
