The Silver And Gold Is Mineby Irvin Rozier

Many ounces of silver and gold have been found <BR>Some in gurgling rivers and beneath the ground <BR>God placed all that silver and gold there <BR>I just found a silver dime under my chair <BR><BR>It is amazing where silver and gold can turn up <BR>Gold has been fashioned into many a pretty cup <BR>Tons of gold and silver have been lost in the sea <BR>Treasure hunters will dive for it for a hefty fee <BR><BR>Man does not really own the silver and gold <BR>Through the ages much has been bought and sold <BR>Without gold or silver man came from the womb <BR>And he can't take any with him to his tomb <BR><BR>He dies and leaves his gold and silver for others to use <BR>Much of it is spent on gambling, sport and booze <BR>Not a single silver or gold coin is of use in death <BR>It is all left behind when man draws his last breath <BR><BR>Greed has been the downfall of many a nation and man <BR>Some lost their life over that gold nugget in that little pan <BR>Life on earth is very uncertain and is very short <BR>Where are all those people who built the Knox Fort <BR><BR>I know that God is the owner of all the silver and gold <BR>He even has gold paved streets in heaven it is told <BR>So remember that the gold and silver is not your own <BR>It was given to you from God as a temporary loan <BR><BR>Treasures laid up in heaven are safe and secure <BR>Turn your eyes upon Jesus and from gold's alure <BR>He'll give you peace of mind that thieves cannot steal <BR>And life eternal in heaven that is O so real <BR><BR>Copyright 2005 Irvin L.
