What is the lesson they won’t learn
How can he help them to discern
The message of the day
Why does it irritate them so
To hear a message they should know
It’s roots are trust, which helps them grow
If only they’d obey
The sermon that caused folks duress
Taught of tithing one tenth--no less
It’s hard to give what is possessed
Greed keeps pure love at bay
Fatigued, discouraged and annoyed
He called on God--his spirit buoyed
Encouragement from heav’n deployed
In thankfulness he prayed
The widow’s coins make it clear
Blessed are those who give with cheer
Her empty pockets drew Him near
Too much can lead astray
And so the pastor challenged those
Whose fingers clutched their wealth and clothes
How will you score do you suppose
When all things go away
Do for others what you can
Share your gifts with open hands
Love each other, it’s God’s command
Then joy will be your pay
November next Pledge Sunday came
Pews were packed, lives weren’t the same
The members learned each other’s names
God’s words lit up their way
