"Sell your house, sell your suv sell your stocks, sell your security and give it to the poor" |
Rich Young Ruler by Derek Webb
(vs. 1) poverty is so hard to see when it’s only on your tv and twenty miles across town where we’re all living so good that we moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood where he’s hungry and not feeling so good from going through our trash he says, more than just your cash and coin i want your time, i want your voice i want the things you just can’t give me (vs. 2) so what must we do here in the west we want to follow you we speak the language and we keep all the rules even a few we made up come on and follow me but sell your house, sell your suv sell your stocks, sell your security and give it to the poor what is this, hey what’s the deal i don’t sleep around and i don’t steal i want the things you just can’t give me (bridge) because what you do to the least of these my brother’s, you have done it to me because i want the things you just can’t give me |

Luke 18:18-23
"Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother.’" The man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” When Jesus heard his answer, he said, “There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very rich. |
