Kirk Franklin with The Family & God’s Property released this captivating gospel song titled “Silver and Gold.” Kirk Franklin, born January 26th, 1970, is an American gospel musician, choir director and author.
He is known for leading urban contemporary gospel choirs such as The Family, God’s Property and One Nation Crew (1NC), and has won multiple awards, including seven Grammy Awards.
However, Silver and Gold by Kirk Franklin, The Family and God’s Property is a gospel song with a powerful message.
This song talks about the true value of life. It says that having a close relationship with God is much more important than having money or expensive things like silver and gold.
The title itself, Silver and Gold, represents money, wealth, and material things. But the song immediately makes it clear that, while riches might seem important, they are nothing compared to knowing God.
The lyrics say, “I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold,” which means that no amount of money can replace the peace, love, and joy that comes from having God in your life.
One of the key messages in this song (as for me) is true happiness doesn’t come from money. Many people think that being rich will make them happy but this song reminds us that wealth can’t buy everything.
Money can buy a house but it can’t buy a home filled with love. It can buy medicine, but not true healing.
It can bring comfort but not lasting peace. This song is actually saying that Jesus gives us something that money never can, which is eternal joy and security.
Another powerful message is trusting God in every situation. Even when life is hard and we don’t have all the material things we desire, we can still have peace because we have Jesus.
It encourages us to focus on our spiritual life rather than chasing after riches that won’t last forever. There is also a message of contentment.
The lyrics remind us that we don’t need to have all the riches in the world to feel blessed. As long as we have Jesus, we already have the greatest treasure. This teaches us to appreciate what we have and to be satisfied with God’s love as well.
