Whoever sows sparingly,
Sparingly that they shall reap;
But sowing bountifully,
A bountiful yield to keep.
Each one must give from the heart,
Not grudgingly as a need;
A cheerful giver will start,
Helping the Lord to succeed.
God is able to make grace,
For sufficiency in things;
Abound in good work to face,
All the blessings that it brings.
He distributed freely,
And has given to the poor;
Abundant that is really,
Righteousness that will endure.
He gives seed to the sower,
Bread for food He will supply;
And He will be the grower,
Making the seed multiply.
You will be enriched so much,
Generous through each day;
Producing a thankful touch,
Ample in every way.
To serve in this ministry,
Not only needs of saints;
But disclose the mystery,
For releasing the restraints.
To serve as an approval,
In glorifying the Lord;
A malicious removal,
If He is never ignored.
Because of your submission,
Which is the Gospel of Christ;
That will come from confession,
And avoid being enticed.
We long for you as we pray,
Because of surpassing grace;
Giving thanks every day,
Receive a gift to embrace.
