Poetry

---

Know about the grace of God,
And giving to the church;
For to honor and laud,
But donations to search.

For in a severe test,
Of affliction and pain;
Your giving is the best,
To satisfy again.

An abundance of joy,
Of generous givers;
Overflows to employ,
Through the cheerful rivers.

Give unto your way,
As I can testify;
Affording of the day,
For God to glorify.

Christ begs for the favor,
Taking part in relief;
That He is your Savior,
In your faithful belief.

It is not expected,
Sacrificing all funds;
Not to be neglected,
Fulfilling your errands.

We must urge that you start,
Perform an act of grace;
By giving from the heart,
How much you can embrace.

This is why I beseech,
Your love to acknowledge;
Excel in faith and speech,
With wisdom and knowledge.

Prove unto all others,
Your love is genuine;
For sisters and brothers,
To maintain discipline.

For if you are ready,
And is acceptable;
Not to become greedy
But what you are able.
