Reflecting on the error of the the greedy prophet Balaam as mentioned in the book of Numbers. Epic / cinematic orchestral.


Verse 1:
So many have strayed
sold out to the world and drifted away
Started good but succumbed to temptation
Now just wood, stubble, and hay
Oh, the compromise
Listening to the same old lie
that of the error of Balaam
which resulted in his demise

Prechorus:
No amount of money will shut me up
I'd rather die poor than sell my soul
You can take your bribes and shove it!
Won't be manipulated or controlled

Chorus:
'Cause I'd rather have Jesus than fleeting riches
The world hates it, but I want to please God more
Better to be despised and rejected
than repeat the sin of Balaam, son of Beor

Verse 2:
Their conscience seared
worthless preachers tickling folks' ears
Caring more about money than truth
Dwindling numbers more than God they fear.
Also, out of hand:
instead of God, the crowd worships the band!
the musicians conforming to appease
Most Christian radio I can't stand!

Bridge:
For in the end,
A vain chasing after the wind.
It’ll all someday burn,
And in the grave we descend.
Blinding the soul,
Turning hearts from God’s control.
Greed—the error of Balaam,
But only Jesus makes us whole.

Outro: (I'd Rather Have Jesus Hymn)
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I'd rather be His than have riches un-told;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hand. x
