Wealth is in the spirit
It's treasured in the soul
No amount of money
Will make a person whole

It's love that you are giving
That you will then receive
What greater joy in bounty
Than any gold achieved

For life should be a blessing
That fills the soul with peace
No coin in life of value
Will grant us any lease

Value that's within us
We give away each day
In joy it is returning
Wealth now comes our way

There is no way to add it
Or wonder where it went
We know what value's given
Through days in life well spent.
