Envy By Henry Beer | Poem

 Envy

No, I will not envy
Others in their lot.
Blest are some with riches,
Blest, who have it not.

Envy is an evil,
Envy leads to sin.
Guard thy soul and conscience,
Lest it enter in.

Satan uses envy,
And, with canning art.
Makes the soul to covet,
Fills with greed the heart.

Envy not men's riches,
Talents, honor, fame;
These can only profit
Used in Jesus' name.

Are you prone to covet
What your friends possess?
Covet the true riches,
Jesus' righteousness.

Avarice and envy,
Coveting, combined-
Weapons of destruction
Satan has designed.
