Lyrics post inspired from our Sunday School

I wanted to post the lyrics to this song inspired by thoughts we covered in Sunday School.

Rich Young Ruler

Mockingbird
by Derek Webb

Poverty is so hard to see
When it’s only on your tv
and twenty miles across town
Where we’re all living so good
That we moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood

Where he’s hungry and not feeling so good
From going through our trash He says,
more than just your cash and coin
I want your time, I want your voice
I want the things you just can’t give me
So what must we do Here in the west
we want to follow you
We speak the language and we keep all the rules
Even a few we made up
Come on and follow me
But sell your house, sell your suv
Sell your stocks, sell your security
And give it to the poor

What is this, hey what’s the deal
I don’t sleep around and i don’t steal
I want the things you just can’t give me
Because what you do to the least of these
My brother’s, you have done it to me
Because I want the things you just can’t give me
