giving, as faithfulness to God

sure of our bounty
conscious of the gifts
wanting to return a portion
from the wellspring of our gifts
giving, as faithfulness to God
not for human recognition
all of our giving as worship
acknowledging the Savior
the creator here with us
the Spirit dwelling within
giving from a grateful heart
that others would simply live
