I'll Take a Large, Please

We teach, even as we reach

For well-worn excuses

Or plead for exemption

With stalemate ruses

Someone is watching

And it is our walk

That trumps the tout

Of fancy talk

We should not seek

to dismiss the charge

Compelling us each

To live life large

Don't bear alone

This day you trod

But brave it with

the grace of God 

 

You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”  But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

 If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.  Like the nations the Lord destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the Lord your God. 

Deut. 8:18-20
