Oh Lord,
I don't need more money
than I can spend in a lifetime.
I've never been one
that required a lot of luxeries.
I don't need more money
than I can spend in a lifetime.
I've never been one
that required a lot of luxeries.
All I like
is the simple things of life:
a fragant bath,
a good cup of coffee,
a juicy piece of fruit.
I'm satisfied with You
and with what you deem
appropriate for me to have.
I'm so happy!
