Is He the one, or is He a bother?

Would you lose on the Lord who gives
you the food,
Tfho gives you the sun and the rain.
Who will listen to you in your
every nood.
He, who gives you everything?
Can money help you in every way?
Can it give you all you ask?
Can you go to it for guidance every
day?
Will it strengthen you in every task?

the three-fourth size piece of cheese
and the three-fourth pound weight on
one side of the scales and the full size
piece of cheese on the other side and
the scales balance, hovi much does the
full size piece of cheese weigh?
