The Prayer
Give ‘till It Hurts
Please please don’t be stingy
Give all you can muster and you’ll see
Your reward My son and daughter
Will be so grand nothing will be greater
Don’t cheat those who have very little
It shows how small your heart how brittle
Give for show with no empathy
And you just might end up in the place of no sympathy
To offer a hundred or a thousand to help the needy
But unfortunately your heart’s not there you are too greedy
Don’t give a dime or penny
When you truly have the ability
Give ‘till it hurts and then give even more
Open your heart just open the door
Your final reward will be based on your giving
Of your talents time self all you’ve done everything
So give of yourself generously
For in the end the Lord will repay you handsomely
Amen
