"They that trust in their wealth… None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: for the redemption of their soul is precious… But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me" (Psalm 49:6-8,15). "The prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil" (Proverbs 1:32,33). "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed" (Romans 9:33).
There
is no wealth in all the earth
By
which a soul can be redeemed.
The
ransom of a soul is worth
Far
more than sinners have esteemed.
The only riches
that can save
Our souls are
found in Jesus Christ.
Behold the ransom
that He gave
When He for us
was sacrificed!
Though fools may
think prosperity
On earth is all
they need to trust,
How hopeless
they at last shall be
When all their
wealth has turned to dust!
O Lord, how
worthless is the wealth
That leaves a
soul at last ashamed!
We thank You for
Your saving health
In Your
redemption we have claimed!
