God Bless the Child
Embracing Independence: God's Blessing on Those with Their Own
Lyrics
Them that's got shall get
Those who have will continue to receive
Them that's not shall lose
Those who do not have will experience loss
So the Bible said and it still is news
Reflecting a biblical principle, indicating a timeless truth
Mama may have, Papa may have
Parents may possess wealth or resources
But God bless the child that's got his own
Blessings are upon the child who is self-sufficient
That's got his own
Reiteration of the blessing for those who are independent
Yes, the strong gets more
The strong continue to gain, while the weak decline
While the weak ones fade
Weaker individuals face fading prospects
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Lack of resources hinders success
Mama may have, Papa may have
Parents may or may not have material wealth
But God bless the child that's got his own
Blessings are for the child with self-sufficiency
That's got his own
Reiteration of the blessing for those who are independent
Money, you've got lots of friends
Wealth attracts superficial friendships
Crowding round the door
People gather when you have money
When you're gone, spending ends
When the money is gone, so are the friends
They don't come no more
True friendships endure beyond material wealth
Rich relations give
Wealthy relatives may offer minimal support
Crust of bread and such
Even meager assistance from family is appreciated
You can help yourself
Encouragement to be self-reliant but avoid greed
But don't take too much
A caution against excessive self-indulgence
Mama may have, Papa may have
Parents may or may not have material wealth
But God bless the child that's got his own
Blessings are for the child with self-sufficiency
That's got his own
Reiteration of the blessing for those who are independent
Mama may have, Papa may have
Parents may or may not have material wealth
But God bless the child that's got his own
Blessings are for the child with self-sufficiency
That's got his own
Reiteration of the blessing for those who are independent
He just worry 'bout nothin'
The self-sufficient individual has minimal worries
Cause he's got his own
Peace of mind due to possessing one's resources
