DON’T LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS
By George Thurlow
August 2, 1997
No longer will I ever
Live below my means,
As a spiritual pauper,
I’m a child of the King.
No longer will I grovel,
Forage for crumbs and scraps;
I’m now feasting at God’s table
And never again will lack.
Today I claim my inheritance
For the Bible is my will.
I am joint-heir with Jesus
For His precious Blood was spilt.
I’m drinking from a golden cup
Full of sparkling brand new wine,
And I am nourished and I’m strengthened
By abiding in the vine.
I no longer shiver,
I am warmed beneath God’s wing;
And the Spirit’s fire
Provides eternal spring.
I’m no longer clothed in filthy rags,
But the righteousness of Christ.
My past is gone forever,
I have a brand new life.

Romans 8:17
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
John 15:4-5
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
2 Corinthians 5:21
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
