Lyrics
WHEN MONEY MEANS MORE THAN WHAT YOU BELIEVE
From the Musical Brothers: Jesus and James
Jack Walker
My house is a house of prayer
But you have made it a den of thieves
Don't you realize that your faith's been compromised
When money means more than what you believe
My temple is not a bank
There should be no business spoken, please
God is not for sale don't you know your plans will fail
If money means more than what you believe
You've set this sinful course, have you no remorse
Can't you see the evil you're abetting this way
You cannot evade the choices you have made
All your sins come due on judgment day
This house is a house of faith
There should be nothing that could deceive
There's no room for lies or deception in God's eyes
When money means more than what you believe
