Lyrics
Rich Young Rulers
The rich, young ruler questioned Jesus? ?What good thing must I do??
I want to find eternal life?I want to be like you?
I?ve kept all the commandments?I?ve never broken one?
So full of pride?He thought inside?what else could I have done?
The Teacher said, ?Sell everything if you want eternity.?
Give it all? to the poor?then you can follow me?
But, the man sure loved his money?And it showed on his face?
When his chin fell low?he turned to go?and he slowly walked away?
We are rich, young rulers? demanding more and more?
A generation who has everything?but the time to find the Lord?
We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams?
But, we?re rotten to the core?
We are the rich, young rulers?and we need to find the Lord?
To get a camel through a needle would be easier than this?
Than pass a man through heaven?s gates?who lives for being rich?
Everyone around Him?said, ?Who then can be saved??
With man it is impossible?But, God can do all things?
We are rich, young rulers? demanding more and more?
A generation who has everything?but the time to find the Lord?
We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams?
But, we?re rotten to the core?
We are the rich, young rulers?and we need to find the Lord?
We are rich, young rulers? demanding more and more?
A generation who has everything?but the time to find the Lord?
We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams?
But, we?re rotten to the core?
We are the rich, young rulers?and we need to find the Lord?
We are the rich, young rulers?and we need to find the Lord?
And we need to find the Lord?
