Seek First The Kingdom of Heaven ( Some Men are Money Mad) OCDC 2019

Показать описание

A joyful happy tune sung often in the 80s in Singapore, written by a composer almost lost to the sands of time. This hymn was chosen specially for the gospel reading on the 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C - The parable of the Rich Fool, taken from Luke 12:13-21.

‘The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, “What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?” Then he said, “I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.” But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich towards God.’
