From the recording There Is A Beautiful God
Lyrics
The Investment
Songwriter: Hubert Dapliyan
He’s driving Rover and a Cadillac
A Mercedes Benz and a Pick-up truck
He’s a stockholder and a lucky broker
A horse raiser who became a billionaire
You’ve got a lot of time to enjoy your luxurious life
And pleasure money can buy everything in this world
Could be yours but one thing I tell you is that when you die
“Hey, you can have your earthly wealth,
but you can’t bring them with you to eternal life”
You’ve got a lot of time to share your wealthy life
To the needy and surely be a blessing
To everyone who dwells in the shelter of God
And I’m telling you now that when you die
“You’ve got an investment here on Earth
But most especially in Heaven”
I’ve known a man named Zacchaeus
Small but rich and a “tax collector”
But when he heard Jesus the Preacher
His heart was humbled then he cares
You’ve got a lot of time to enjoy your luxurious life
And pleasure money can buy everything in this world
Could be yours but one thing I tell you is that when you die
“Hey, you can have your earthly wealth,
but you can’t bring them with you to eternal life”
You’ve got a lot of time to share your wealthy life
To the needy and surely be a blessing
To everyone who dwells in the shelter of God
And I’m telling you now that when you die
“You’ve got an investment here on Earth
But most especially in Heaven”
The old ways are gone, the good has come
No excuses cause Christ redeemed us
The joy of giving is amazing
It is rewarding at the end of the day
You’ve got a lot of time to enjoy your luxurious life
And pleasure money can buy everything in this world
Could be yours but one thing I tell you is that when you die
“Hey, you can have your earthly wealth,
but you can’t bring them with you to eternal life”
You’ve got a lot of time to share your wealthy life
To the needy and surely be a blessing
To everyone who dwells in the shelter of God
And I’m telling you now that when you die
“You’ve got an investment here on Earth
But most especially in Heaven”
