Sufficiencyby Justin Lawrence
The manna fell like rain, each day it came again
People wanted more, hoping they could store
But God said, "Let the lesson begin"
Call it sufficiency, learn to rely on Me
Share the stuff you've found - enough to go around
Live altruistically
Enough is enough
we don't need to store
More is not better, more is just more
Skip to the present day - real life Monopoly
But what have we ignored while want just wants some more?
Where is our harmony?
Avoid the wilderness if we coexist
Show me a way to share, reach to the least out there
Pervasive happiness
Enough is enough, we don't need to hoard
More is not better, more is just more
There's a way that You have made
Where I'm not a slave who cumulates
Show me how it all fits in
I'm ready to begin
I will not be one who's greedy
Not my wants, but needs, please teach me
How Your plan includes more than just me!
