GIVEN

         I've tried to give you everything
         I even gave My Son
         Provided you a blessed life
         Admired by everyone
         Receiving seems to be your thing
         But giving is a chore
         You do not spread My wealth around
         That's what My wealth is for.

         You ask for gifts of healing
         For prophecy and such
         But you don't really trust Me
         You love your wealth too much
         I've a vision for this place
         That only you can grant
         Take me at My solemn word
         There's no such word as can't.

         I love a cheerful giver
         I state that in My word
         I will keep you all afloat
         If you give undeterred
         The devil has a stronghold
         he hates it when we give
         Kick the cretin into touch
         And through Me learn to live.
