Security

By Mike Bullock

What is our security
What do we lean against
A tidy nest egg in the bank
Our jobs and all our friends
The certainty of breakfast
And myriad other meals
All aid us in our daily lives
They help to oil the wheels

Our debt is oh so simple
It mounts up out of sight
We pay a bit back every month
Alleviates our plight
But one day it will topple
And take us unawares
We knew what we were doing
But no one really cares

Security is fleeting
When built on self and sand
The world is bound to crumble
And life get out of hand
So fraternise with Jesus
He gives us just enough
To make it through the toughest day
And call the devils bluff.
