Whoever sows sparingly,
Sparingly they also reap;
But sowing bountifully,
Harvesting more that they keep.
You must decide what to give,
God loves a cheerful giver;
Not reluctant as you live,
The sum of gold or silver.
Decisions comes from the heart,
God is able to make grace;
Grace abound what does depart,
His compassion to embrace.
Sufficiency in all things,
Abundance for all the time;
For an abundance that brings,
The successful steps you climb.
Distributed by free will,
And has given to the poor;
Inspired that does instill,
His righteousness does endure.
He who does supply the seed,
Will be able to eat bread;
So that those in dire need,
Has nourishment to be fed.
Multiply your seed to sow,
Will be increasing harvest;
For the Lord will always know,
Cheerful givers to invest.
Produce thanksgiving to God,
Enriched in generous ways;
Abundant honor and laud,
Bountifulness all your days.
Not just giving to the saints,
But a thanksgiving to God;
Restrictions without constraints,
For praises that you applaud.
Glorify God when you pray,
Submission from confession;
In the Gospel you pay,
Generous contribution.
Those who long for and pray you,
Giving you surpassing grace;
A priceless gift of value,
And waiting up at His place.
