Story behind the song

A song says, look away from everything to Jesus. I look away to His love, compassion, and mercy, then I look away to the whips in His hands as He is chasing the deceiving money changers from the temple. Then I look away to His grace, forgiveness, and healing. Then I look and see as He points at the demons and casts them out with Authority. All the while He is admonishing the hypocrites, lawyers, and pharisees.
    John 2:15
    15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables (KJV)
Proverbs 11:1
A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. (KJV)

Lyrics

FOLLOW THE MONEY    c2012 Jerry Stevens
We gonna follow the money
the moneys funny   its funny money
It aint no laughing matter 
sleeping giant is awakening the tide is turning
passion for freedom is burning
     
for so many years they been rollin folks in the clover
and when you find out the enemy is done for 
give thanks over and over

They will no longer be able to steal
because they got this Achilles heel
Follow the money     follow the money   please
we gonna turn over the moneychanger tables again
strike the root        make use of the third boot
