There was a rich man whose manager did waste
Much of his things, so he called him in haste
"What is this I hear about you?
Get ready to leave because you are through."
The manager thought to himself, "What shall I do now?
I'm ashamed to beg and I can't even plow.
I know what I'll do so that when I leave
I'll be welcomed elsewhere and I won't have to grieve."
So he called each one of his master's debtors
And promised each one to make their debt better
To those owing eight hundred he cut in half
No doubt this would surely make them laugh
From a thousand he wrote eight hundred bushels of wheat
While the rest of their debt he did delete.
The master commended this servant for being so shrewd.
So what is my point, to what do I allude?
Much of his things, so he called him in haste
"What is this I hear about you?
Get ready to leave because you are through."
The manager thought to himself, "What shall I do now?
I'm ashamed to beg and I can't even plow.

I'll be welcomed elsewhere and I won't have to grieve."
So he called each one of his master's debtors
And promised each one to make their debt better
To those owing eight hundred he cut in half
No doubt this would surely make them laugh
From a thousand he wrote eight hundred bushels of wheat
While the rest of their debt he did delete.
The master commended this servant for being so shrewd.
So what is my point, to what do I allude?
The world is more shrewd in dealing with its kind
Than are the people of the light. At least that's what I find.
Use your wealth to gain friends so that when you pass away
You'll be welcomed into dwellings forevermore to stay.
Whoever can be trusted with just a little bit
With much he can be trusted as he's shown he's fit
Whoever is unjust with little is unjust with much
So if you've not been faithful in handling wealth and such
Who will trust you with the riches which are really true?
So you must be reliable in everthing you do
If you have not been faithful with someone's property
You may be given nothing and end in poverty.
No one who's a servant can serve under more than one
Or else he'll end up loving one and the other loving none.
One he will despise, to other be a sonny.
You cannot both serve God and also serve Money.
