GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER

God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Cor 9:7)
Lord, if we sow sparingly, then sparingly we will reap.
Let our sowing be bountiful, lest we have cause weep.
Without sadness or compulsion, may we cheerfully give.
Since You love a cheerful giver. Cheerfully, may we live.

Multiply the righteous seeds we sow—let righteousness abound.
Increase Your harvest now in us, that faith in us be found.
Thank You for all You’ve given us. In Your will may we be thankful.
Keep us ever close to You, with spirits ever tranquil.

Bless our loved ones too, dear Lord. Grant them pure hearts anew.
May they sow seeds of holiness, and forever trust in You.
May each loved one now give cheerfully. Let cheerful love be given them.
May they spread truth throughout the world, to Your truth now say “Amen.”

Go to them now dear Jesus. A good harvest may they reap.
Help them to scatter seeds of faith. Grant them a faith that’s deep.
Be the hope upon their journey.   Be the light which guides their way.
Be the truth which draws them back. Bring them back to You today.
