GREED TO SEED

           I used to worship money
           An idol built of greed
           My life revolved around the lump
           Amassed, just for my need
           I used to guard it carefully
           And watch it ebb and flow
           Was overjoyed to see it come
           But sad to see it go.

           Charity began at home
           My needs were paramount
           The poor and needy had to wait
           Their poverty didn't count
           But then I had a change of life
           And I asked Jesus in
           But kept my wallet firmly closed
           My wealth was not a sin.

           Bit by bit, my hardened heart
           Was softened by His love
           And off my greedy, grasping hand
           He took the chain mailed glove
           Now I tithe and sow my seed
           Into the kingdom field
           A cheerful giver, I've become
           And heaven is my yield.
