A Tithe Should Be Invested

God with love from heaven
created us a dream
and came to walk among us
to teach us how to swing

He made his birth a miracle
a virgin birth for man
angels told his loved one's 
do not to be afraid

For God created Mary's child  
there is no one to blame
he came to walk among us
and teach us how to love

He came to walk among us
and teach us how to save
he came to walk among us 
and teach us how to care

he came to walk among us 
a guide to better days
he told his young disciple's
I go towards my home

you must invest my money
and help my money grow
the parable I speak of
the parable of the talents

where Jesus said to others
I go towards my fathers home
you must invest and grow my home
I give to one five talents

expecting he makes more
expecting he invests it 
and make's my money grow
expecting he'll invest it 

and make it five times more
then once he's made his profit
his wisdom he will use
his job to stop the suffering

his job to help the poor
for everyone's a child of mine
a child needs my love
a child needs his family

to buy his food for lunch
the money that we give to God 
the tithe a Christians lot
should then have been invested

creating earning more
the money if invested
would make the jobs for you
creating then the wealth we need 

for Church and Christian two
creating then the jobs we need
for people in this world
he came to walk among us

and teach us how to rule.
imagine then the church my friend
investing all it earns
they would provide the jobs for us

and kick starvation out
instead they spent it on themselves
and need to tidy up their house
improve the lives of man and mouse
