I’m Ananias

 Here’s today’s song. It’s called:

I’m Ananias

I care about optics, though I say I don't 

Weirdly, I love people's praise 

Generous, I'm pretending, my mammons unending 

Fearfully, I see His banner raise

Why, oh why, do I lie 

Why hold back part of the price 

I know the Truth, I've known from youth 

Won't make the same choice twice 

Ananias died, fell right there 

God's a gracious Host 

He leads me to repeatedly repent 

I too will give up The Ghost 

Why, oh why, do I lie 

Why hold back part of the price 

I know the Truth, I've known from youth 

Won't make the same choice twice 

Why, oh why, do I lie 

Why hold back part of the price 

I know the Truth, I've known from youth 

Won't make the same choice twice. 

Psalms 60:4 (KJV)

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. 

Acts 5:1-5 (KJV)

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whilst it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
