| (The importance of Tithing - |
| Returning to God one tenth |
| of what He gives you.) |
| |
| I consider myself a Christian |
| And I seek to do His will |
| But my family's needs are many |
| I have obligations to fulfill. |
| |
| Must I neglect these obligations? |
| Make my family go without? |
| Give a tenth of all my earnings? |
| Lord, please help me! I'm in doubt. |
| |
| Unto you the Word is given |
| Read it, friend, and heed it, too |
| My life, my blood, my Home I've given |
| Just ten percent I ask of you. |
| |
| Give to me as I have given -- |
| Freely, gladly, faithfully. |
| Not that man might praise your giving. |
| But to My Name the glory be. |
| |
| Be systematic in your giving |
| Abounding in your grace and love. |
| Honestly given; honestly used, |
| The sincerity of your love to prove. |
| |
| Ten percent is all He's asking |
| In exchange for all He's done. |
| When I've given ten percent |
| I feel that I have just begun. |
