Shake The Money Tree Lyrics

Shake The Money Tree lyrics

Said that he would answer every need
said that we could trust him and
believe
if your God hasn't found an answer yet
you better find a way to
hedge your bets
got to make yourself a name
cross your fingers for that
lucky break

Too insecure to live by faith
we're always looking for
some other way

Shake, shake, shake the money tree
shake, shake, shake
the money tree
trusting in our wealth
trusting in ourselves
shake,
shake, shake the money tree

Contentment is a secret we can
learn
regardless of the money that we earn
doesn't come by rising in the
world
comes by taking Jesus at his word
he has promised to
provide
everything we need for life
now we're caught inside a living
lie

(bridge)

(chorus)

You gotta-gotta raise that sex
appeal
you gotta-gotta work that business deal
you got to change what you
cannot steal
deep inside you're scrounging for a meal
made a perfect idol
of your wealth
everyman and woman for themselves
you burn your conscience
on the cornershelf
you're dying while you're trusting in yourself
