Lyrics
Silver and Gold
Composed & written by Dinah Satterwhite
A hand reaches out, he’s asking for more
Just a simple request that I open a door
For money could solve a whole lot of things
His mind was made up, I’d give him his wings
I earnestly wanted to help with his plea
To do unto others as I’d want for me
So I’d give him direction, a strong guiding light
To help solve his problem and stand his full height
Listen up I said
Though silver and gold may often tempt you
It won’t solve your problems, no, this much is true
Have confidence now and believe in this creed
You already have all the things that you need
Now take this to heart, it never gets old
And it may be worth more than silver and gold
He nodded and smiled but wanted much more
He said he had plans, he wanted to soar
“It’s money” he said makes the world go around
So I told him of Peter and a story renowned
This man lame from birth asked for money so bold
But Peter healed him which was better than gold
Then the man walked and leapt, and praised the good Lord
So happy and grateful, his faith was restored
I love Peter’s words when he healed the lame man:
“Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee”
Though silver and gold may often tempt you
It won’t solve your problems, no, this much is true
Have confidence now and believe in this creed
You already have all the things that you need
Now take this to heart, it never gets old
And it may be worth more than silver and gold
Through the ages these truths have been told
We already have more than silver and gold
