A smart home to live in, a bragging address
A view of the bay that is sure to impress
A big-name designer to do the décor
How much is enough? Just a little bit more!
A car packed with features, the most modern shape
So cool that the Joneses with envy will gape
A jet-ski, a boat and a new 4 x 4
How much is enough? Just a little bit more!
My clothes are the best from Milan and Paris
Where fashion dictates I will follow with glee
Last season’s designs should be rags for the floor
How much is enough? Just a little bit more!
A cruise or a ski on a Saint Moritz piste
We’ll shop till we drop in Dubai and the East
Our friends’ jealous comments we simply adore
How much is enough? Just a little bit more!
And when at the end of the month things get rough
Thank heavens our plastic can get us more stuff
Those final demands we will have to ignore
How much is enough? Just a little bit more!
Sometimes I wake up in a bit of a sweat
At twenty to one you can’t hide from your debt
The hunger and emptiness clamour and gnaw
It’s never enough is that little bit more!
I heard of a king with a rescuing plan
He left heaven’s riches to live as a man
Imagine that! Swapping such wealth to be poor
How much would He give? Just a little bit more!
He owned no possessions, no home and no bed
“Don’t worry about food or clothing,” He said
His life and His attitude fill me with awe
How much would He give? Just a little bit more!
He showed us His power, yet wooed us with love
He taught we are precious in heaven above
Our hungering hearts Jesus came to restore
How much would He give? Just a little bit more!
They put Him to death ’cause they said He blasphemed
The vict’ry belonged to the brutal, it seemed
As silent He hung while they scorned and they swore
How much would He give? Just a little bit more!
“My Father, forgive them – they really don’t know
The sin they’re committing, or why it is so
One day they’ll discover to heav’n I’m the door”
How much would He give? Just a little bit more!
The sky became dark as God’s face turned away
The price for each one of my sins paid that day
“It’s finished!” He cried, “It’s the end of the war!”
He gave up His life. He could give us no more…
My greed and my need have been nailed to the cross
With Paul, I can count all these worldly things loss
I’m free from the sin and death trap of the law
His death gave me life – I’m a “more-slave” no more!
My chosen chazown* is to choose what will last
Invest in a kingdom of joy unsurpassed
I’ll live for the treasures that God has in store
His love is enough – I could ask for no more!
