Poverty nor Riches Songtext

von Ghost Ship

Give me neither poverty nor riches
Give me just the sustenance I need
Lest I become rich, I would forget you
Lest I become poor, then I would steal

Give me just your sovereign hand to guide me
Give me strength to walk where you will lead
Let me rest beneath your strong protection
You are my provision and my shield

This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me
You are all I need

You have turned my poverty to riches
Found me as an orphan, took me in
Brought me as a beggar to your table
Offered me the cup that covers sin

You have given me this rich abundance
More than I could ask for in this life
Those I dearly love, they still surround me
And my God is ever by my side

In plenty, in hunger, you are all I need
In sorrow, in laughter, you are all I need
In triumph, in failure, you are all I need
In this life and after, you are all I need
