The Tithe
Numbers can be cruel
The clock ages us too quickly
The pressure's on and time is short
for the poor and sickly
We count our blessings every day
but do we give enough?
What is the cost?
The tithe is generosity
given from within your soul
To some, it's just a one-tenth contribution
from the dole
The tithe, a voluntary gesture's
giving to the needy
- not invited to devour
the banquet of the greedy.--- Ooh--- ooh---
Too much credit, not success
won't settle up the score
We miss the point of living life
and should be giving more
For what goes out, will come back
the Lord, He will provide
What is the cost?
[BRIDGE]
We're humbled, now, must show respect
to the Living Lord
who's taught us grace, to do without
and sacrifice the hoard
And no amount of money
will satisfy the host
What is the cost?
The tithe, a voluntary gesture's
giving to the needy
- not invited to devour
the banquet of the greedy.--- Ooh--- ooh---
