GENEROSITY

To all the people of the world
Jesus Christ gave so much and asked for nothing in return
Yet we are selfish, holding on, to all that we own,
Whenever we give, there is always induced mortification
To seek a thousand fold, for our tiny contribution

If only we ask for desire, the Lord will grant vivification
But yet we will indulge in futile ostentation,
Our greed is not just for mammon, but to be potentate
Imagine being at hell's gate for being obstinate

Lord help us to comprehend that "generosity" is your delight
For it emboldens your spirit that makes the stars shine bright,
Open our eyes to see the hopelessness of the millions of the many
And that we can't buy heaven, for one trillion, or one penny!
