"I Am Rich" - Poem By Grandpa Phelps

I AM RICH!
Not in wealth that man would pursue,
Not in things of worldly hue,
But in blessings of grace eternal and true,

I AM RICH!
Justified freely by His grace,
Accepted in Him before His face,
Someday in heaven to take my place,

I AM RICH!
A new creation, what amazing power
He wrought in me that very hour
He became my strength and mighty tower,

I AM RICH!
Rich in family and loved ones true,
Rich in the work I'm appointed to do, 
Rich for time and eternity too,

I AM RICH!

written by C. Richard Phelps Sr. 
(inspired by a man in his church who called him "Rich")
