Food and clothing

Food and clothing 
Is all we need
To be content
Oh Gods word heed
Don't our pleasures
A moment last 
How hard it is
For man to fast

But food and clothing
With contentments peace
Is better by far
Than riches increase
For those who be rich
Can be very poor
Always sad 
No peace for sure

Give me 
A simple roof
Over my head
With Gods truth
To read all day
Of his love
Give me riches
From above

Why do men
Seek wealth
And pay for it
With their health
Or their family
They give away
For mammoths lure
That comes each day 

Why do we need
Fast cars
Over spending
At drunken bars 
A huge house
With many rooms
Poverty written 
On our tombs

We can only sit
In one chair at a time
And one bed 
Oh it's a crime 
To take more
Than we need 
Still for the rich
God did bleed
