Test Me, Lord With 50 Million

Full Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord, I know I ain't supposed to ask,
But if You're handin' out a heavenly task,
Test me with fifty million, just to see,
What kind of man I'd really be.

[Chorus]
Test me with fifty million, see my true colors show,
Would I stay grounded, or would I let it go,
To my head like a runaway train,
Test me, Lord, I'll take the pain.

[Verse 2]
I say I'd give it away, I say I'd stay the same,
Still drive my truck, still know my name,
But talk is cheap when the wallet's thin,
Test me, Lord, and let's begin.

[Chorus]
Test me with fifty million, see my true colors show,
Would I stay grounded, or would I let it go,
To my head like a runaway train,
Test me, Lord, I'll take the pain.

[Verse 3]
I'd build my mama a house on the hill,
Pay off my brother's medical bill,
Keep the truck, keep the boots I wear,
Prove that money don't change what's there.

[Verse 4]
But then again, would I forget the small,
The porch, the prayer, the neighbor's call,
Money's a mirror, that's what they say,
Test me, Lord, and I'll prove it today.

[Chorus]
Test me with fifty million, see my true colors show,
Would I stay grounded, or would I let it go,
To my head like a runaway train,
Test me, Lord, I'll take the pain.

[Bridge]
I've seen good men turn cold and strange,
The second a big check hit the change,
I've seen humble folks stay just as kind,
With more zeros than they could ever mind.
That's the real test, that's the real deal,
Not the money, but the man that's real.

[Verse 5]
So test me, Lord, if You've got a mind,
I'll give You proof of every kind,
Fifty million or a dollar-two,
I'll still be the man that prays to You.

[Chorus - Outro]
Test me with fifty million, see my true colors show,
Would I stay grounded, or would I let it go,
To my head like a runaway train,
Test me, Lord, I'll take the pain.
