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
