Because I have been given much,
I too must give;
Because of thy great bounty, Lord,
each day I live
I shall divide my gifts from thee
With every brother that I see
Who has the need of help from me.
Because I have been sheltered,
fed by thy good care,
I cannot see another's lack
and I not share
My glowing fire, my loaf of bread,
My roof's safe shelter over head,
That he too may be comforted.
Because I have been blessed by thy great love,
Dear Lord,
I'll share thy love again, according to thy word.
I shall give love to those in need;
I'll show that love by word and deed;
Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.

that song always reminds me of janet mott in our fredricksburg branch. remember her? she was divorced and was my visiting teacher. she always brought us swiss chard from her garden.
Love the swiss chard. Did she teach us to eat that stuff? Nobody I ever met ever heard of it, much less ate it, but the Opfel clan.
