To be close to God
Has nothing to do with health
Nor does it have a thing
To do with one's wealth
We pray to God for good health
We hope our prayers come true
Good health is something we control
Provided we know what to do
Just because someone is sick
Puts them no closer to God then I
Because as far God's concerned
We're both equal in His eye's
Wealth is not a factor
Whether you're close to God or not
There are people who are very rich
They rarely thank God for what they got
The poor it's true may need help
So we should all lend a hand
But again when it comes to God
Together and equal we all stand
God shows no favorites
In His love for everyone
Everyone to God is equal
When all is said and done
