What are you giving to God?
What are you giving to God?
You ask him from time to time
Sometimes continuously
For excessively things
Most necessary things
Important for your image
To defend your face
Your pride a prey
Your wishes a mirage
That are easily camouflaged
What you really want
Wishes deep down
You dream and keep
Even though your hope
It seems most bleak
Considering how you
Frightfully talk
Want far below
You must not
Merely bequeath
Instead, seek boldly
Put your feet to your faith
Practice some grace
Chase the face of god
Not just your hand
Touch daddy’s heart
Don’t just come looking
And then up and go
Move beyond the murmurs
Conquer complaints
Enter thanksgiving
Give up your control
Let it go completely and be complete
Do not say that you are from the Lord
When you keep control
As for where to live
Dictate how much to give
Christ wants your whole life
Not just a tithe or tip
Yet you resist and joke
Say no to god with your lip
Limits and chains Christ
For your unconditional life
Requirements and standards
Repeated denials froward
A little servile mentality
Self-centered life for me
Me, myself and only me
No wonder why you cry
Scourge of frustration and fuss
Damn while you drive the bus
Trying to lead and navigate
Your apparent inability
Stubborn are you wandering
Mercy is not about profit
Is taking up your cross
Holding on and denying himself
To serve Jesus in the Holy Name!
It’s not money and unholy fame
So choose your god!
If it’s money, don’t be mad
When promises of prosperity
For humble and obedient servants
Delay in reaching you
Instead, ask yourself wisely
What should I strive to do?
For blessings and advances?
Release what you need
To get what you want
Catch fresh consumer fire
To ignite your destiny
Keep going with intensity
Overthrow fearful shyness
Replace heartbreak with peace
Let your soul now feast
Prosperity begins within
If not, you won’t win
Die to your defiant rights
May the Lord rise up to fight
Triumph over your battles
Make the enemy scatter
Guide you in justice
Search her face to kiss lovingly
His heart to hug tenderly.
Prayer is the nice place
To find joy, glory and grace
Worship God and relish with joy!
Don’t let consumerism rub off
Your personality and passion
Get back on purpose and take action!
You quickly ask for the best
But you give God the rest
Complain about every test
Trials, tribulations, transition
Looking for self-realization
Ignoring degradation
The brutal crucifixion of Christ
For you he paid the price
To give you newness of life.
As for you, that in return
Will you propose to do?
Can Jesus count on you?
Make known to humanity
Divine love, life and freedom?
Or will you just continue
To fully sustain itself?
When will you give with sacrifice?
Save the lost souls that need to live?
For these Jesus bled and died
Not out of greed, ego, and pride.
