Whoever sows sparingly,
Sparingly they also reap;
But sowing bountifully,
Bountifully they will keep.
Each one of us have to give,
As decided in their heart;
Not reluctant how they live,
Being compelled to impart.
God loves a cheerful giver,
As God will shower with grace;
Sufficient to deliver,
For abounding to embrace.
God distributed freely,
He has given to the poor;
As written for the needy,
His righteousness will endure.
He gives seed to the sower,
Bread for food that will supply;
Nourishes for the grower,
The harvest will multiply.
Be bountifully improved,
Generous in many ways;
As to what God has approved,
To each of us who obeys.
The ministry of service,
Not only supplying needs;
So that you are not nervous,
As to what a person pleads.
For it is overflowing,
Many thanksgiving to God;
Because of one is knowing,
After you honor and laud.
This service by approval,
When you glorify the Lord;
For transgression removal,
And be in one accord.
Because of your submission,
Unto the Gospel of Christ;
As coming from your confession,
From evil that has enticed.
As they long for you and pray,
Because of surpassing grace;
As the potter molds the clay,
For a transcending embrace.
