Righteous Gold – A Blues Song of Wealth and Wisdom

** What does Jesus really say about money? Is wealth a blessing or a trap? Righteous Gold dives deep into the words of Christ, exploring both the righteous use of wealth and the dangers of greed. Through powerful blues rhythms and timeless wisdom, this song brings to life key scriptures about riches, generosity, and the heart’s true treasure.

Many misunderstand Jesus’ teachings on money, thinking He condemned it outright. But the truth is, He spoke of wealth as a tool—something that, when used for God’s kingdom, brings blessings, yet when worshipped, leads to destruction.

🎵 Lyrics: Righteous Gold Blues
[Verse 1] [The Parable of the Talents – Matthew 25:14-30]

A master went away, left his gold behind,
Told his servants, “Use it wise, multiply in time.”
One took five, made it ten,
Heard his master say, “Well done, my friend.”
But the one who feared and buried it low,
Lost even the little he tried to hold.

[Pause… let the guitar cry…]
[Chorus]

Oh, righteous gold, won’t chain my soul,
If I use it right, it won’t take control.
But if it owns my heart, if greed takes hold,
I’ll trade my soul for fool’s gold.
[Verse 2] [The Women Who Supported Jesus – Luke 8:1-3]

Joanna and Mary, gave what they had,
Servin’ the Lord with open hands.
Silver and gold in the Savior’s name,
Ain’t no greed, no selfish gain.
When the kingdom calls, don’t turn away,
What you give in love won’t fade away.
]
[Verse 3] [Give and It Will Be Given – Luke 6:38 & The Rich Fool – Luke 12:16-21]

A man built barns, stacked them high,
Said, “I’ll rest easy till the day I die.”
But the Lord called, said, “Your soul’s required,
Who gets your wealth when your breath expires?”
But a giving hand, a heart that’s free,
Finds treasure layin’ in eternity.

[Call and response, preacher-style]
"Give, and it’ll be given back to you!"
"Pressed down, shaken, runnin’ through!"
"Faithful in little, faithful in much,"
"If you hoard it all, it’ll turn to dust!"

[Chorus]

Oh, righteous gold, won’t chain my soul,
If I use it right, it won’t take control.
But if it owns my heart, if greed takes hold,
I’ll trade my soul for fool’s gold.
[Verse 4]
[Give to Caesar – Matthew 22:19-21 &
The Prodigal Son – Luke 15:22-23]

A coin with Caesar’s face was shown,
Jesus said, “Give Caesar his own.”
But give to God what’s truly His,
Your heart, your soul—where the kingdom is.
And that prodigal son, lost it all,
But his father wrapped him in a robe so tall.
He had wealth, but he knew the way,
Love is richer at the end of the day.

[Outro]

Ain’t the gold, ain’t the land,
It’s the heart, it’s the hand.
If you hold it loose, let it flow,
Righteous gold will bless your soul…
