CCLI # Greedy For Gain

Audio recording of Solid Hope (Original Song) - CCLI # Greedy For Gain
Lyrics:
You're greedy for gain. You copyright everything.
It's really insane that you're greedy for gain.

The secular scene neglected your theme.
You try a new scene. The Christian music scene.

You crossover to Capitol Christian Music Group and they say to you,
"Look the part and we'll take care of the rest. We'll apply our spell through the radio.

You. sign with a song publisher, and ASCAP, and a big bonus called CCLI.
You get an advantage, gain royalties from the license fees paid by churches.
You live off the ministry; in enters greed. Then TBN and the Dove Awards.

You tickle each others ears when you gain an award; you thank everyone; and then the Lord.

Favoritism from church.. leadership. Worship leaders idolize you.
They choose to ignore whom they want; that's how they become loveless.

Don't be greedy for gain!
Don't be greedy for gain!
By your fruit we know you're among us but not of us.

You should submit to the Lord's will and not be greedy for gain.
Stop stealing from the churches. CCLI # Greedy For Gain.

1 Corinthians 9:18-19 (NKJV)
18 What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.
19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;

1 John 2:19 (NKJV)
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

Titus 1:7 (NKJV)
For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,

1 Timothy 6:6-10 (NKJV)
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have
strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Proverbs 1:18-19 (NKJV)
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners.

Proverbs 15:27 (NKJV)
He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.
