The Gift of Generous Giving

There is a better way of living
That seems a little odd
It is a life of generous giving
That reflects the heart of God

It goes against the trend
Of personally trying to get ahead
Giving generously to others
Sacrificing self instead

Loving those who are imprisoned
Even when they did the crime
Christian purpose Christ-like vision
Giving generously from what is mine

Speaking kind to those rejected
Reaching out to the addicted
To those who feel lost neglected
Whose minds have been afflicted

It goes against the common thought
What keeps me forward driven
Giving more than I think I ought
That is the gift of generous giving

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:38 KJV

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
1 Timothy 6:18 KJV
