MILLION MILES FROM A MILLION DOLLARS

Snippet

My grandfather would live to see his children become doctors and ministers, accounts
and professors. Rand Paul

Scripture

Trouble pursues the sinner,
but the righteous are rewarded with good things.
A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children,
but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous. Proverbs 13:21-23

When I was a kid
I used to buy and sell gravity
I knew how to fly
And I would teach you for a fee
Broke every window
In my hotel heart
When I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred
And I'd hear the same voice
Echo in my mind
Said, "Son you got an angel,
To chase the devil at night."
Yeah
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He'd talk about God
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said, "God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves."
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
I took a little faith
And put it in a parking lot
I drove to a strange town
Full of "have" and "have nots"
And as I walked through that storybook life
I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at night
Oh! Oh! Oh!
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He'd talk about love
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said, "God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves."
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Wave
Put your hands up and hands down
[3x]
When I was a kid
My grandfather was a preacher
He'd talk about life
Yeah he was something like a teacher
He said, "God only helps those
Who learn to help themselves."
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth
He was a million miles from a million dollars
But you could never spend his wealth.

Sentence Prayer

Father
The words of my grandparents spoke in
anger and ignorance teach me to throw away
The words of my grandparents spoke in
Love and wisdom teach me to guard my inheritance
The godly actions my grandparents lived
May I learn to walk in them and to walk farther down the road

Amen
