Lyrics
Jesus I’m A Poor Man Too

1.   Jesus I’m a poor man too
Yet my rent is paid and I’m making due
Like a lily in a field
That is so much more than it ever yields
It is written in a book well bound
That a man with nothing is a man profound
If the soul is a riddle and a dream
Then nothing in the world is what it seems

CH:    Oh no I’m not dead
        I’m not even feeling bad
        Yes yes I’ve been blessed
        With the gift of accepting less

2.    Jesus I’m a preacher too
I feel less like them and more like you
Like a shadow that will wait
For those who fall or hesitate
Some like the glitter and the glam
Sideshow religion and the slight of hand
I want to live by a word
That is often spoken but is seldom heard

CH:    Repeat

3.    The rich man thinks he’s King
The ruler and the shaker of everything
But money corrupts the soul
It makes a slave out of everybody it controls

CH:    Repeat
