To Leave Empty-Handed

LUKE 12:20-21

20"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' 21"This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."

Oh, to be a thin cow on the day the butcher comes
Oh, to be a winner on the day the race is run
The path is paved with cobbles, speedbumps, freaks and bums
Oh, to be a thin cow on the day the butcher comes

Oh, to have my armor on the day the swords are drawn
Oh, to have eyes open on the day of that new dawn
The path is paved with cobbles, speedbumps, freaks and bums
Oh, to be a thin cow on the day the butcher comes

Oh, to be a mirror on the day the sky cracks wide
To see the gates swing open, and get a glimpse inside
To ride beside my Savior, and hammer flat the Dark One's guns
Oh, to be a thin cow on the day the butcher comes

Oh, to keep on walking, when the path is dark and drear
Oh, to hang onto my joy, when my heart is wrought with fear
The path is paved with cobbles, speedbumps, freaks and bums
Oh, to be a thin cow on the day the butcher comes
