Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Proverb:3:5-7

My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my ways says the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than yours. Isa: 55:9
"Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are towards us: they cannot be counted up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." Psalms:40:5 This is what my music is all about.

Story behind the song
This song is about the rampant, obsessive love of money in the United States and our misplaced allegiance to it which reveals the obvious hypocrisy of the statement that is printed on it.
Lyrics
Well it's written on our money but it's not inside our hearts At telling jokes that just aren't funny yes we're masters of the art We're the ones who've held the banner that says "HEAVEN'S GATES OR BUST" And we've coined the phrase of these final days "IN GOD WE TRUST" But do we look to Him for sustenance or believe Him for the rent When the bank's our source of confidence 'cause we're earning ten per cent? God has given us His blessings we've consumed them on our lusts And we've mocked the phrase of these final days "IN GOD WE TRUST" Does it serve as just a cover to protect us from our guilt That money is our lover in this Babylon we've built? Or will this lie we've fashioned on the cash that we all spend Echo as we're crashin' "GREED DESTROYED YOU IN THE END? He provides both food and raiment yet we're maxed-out at the stores We're a nation making payments on our credit cards galore We don't want treasures in heaven we prefer the kind that rusts And bears the phrase of these final days "IN GOD WE TRUST" We have faith in our defenses and our military might And we make no false pretenses about being in the right But is the Lord fighting our battles or has it even been discussed What about the phrase of these final days "IN GOD WE TRUST? Does it serve as just a cover to protect us from our guilt That money is our lover in this Babylon we've built? Or will this lie we've fashioned on the cash that we all spend Echo as we're crashin' "GREED DESTROYED YOU IN THE END? Well it's written on our money but it's not inside our hearts At telling jokes that just aren't funny yes we're masters of the art We're the ones who've held the banner that says "HEAVEN'S GATES OR BUST" And we've coined the phrase of these final days "IN GOD WE TRUST"
