Giving God, We Pause and Wonder

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Romans 15:25-26 First Line: Giving God, we pause and wonder: What would happen if we tithed-- Lyrics: Giving God, we pause and wonder: What would happen if we tithed— If we gave our gifts, Creator, hearts and hands all opened wide? We might learn, by gladly sharing, Not to trust in things we own But to risk—it's part of caring—And to trust in you alone. We could do abundant mission, Sharing Christ who claims and frees. We could reach out with new vision In creative ministries. No more bound by limitations Of what churches can't afford, We could learn with jubilation Whole new ways to serve you, Lord. In each country that was struggling, We could build a thousand schools, We could feed a million orphans And give countless farmers tools. As we gladly shared your blessings, Then the world might want to know: "See! How loving are those Christians! Who's the One who makes them so?" God, we know we cannot pay you For your love in Christ your Son. Gifts and tithes are just a "thank you"—Ways to pass your blessings on. We have learned that, in our sharing, We receive more than we give. By your Spirit, make us daring, In this joyful way to live. Topics: Mission; Stewardship Used With Tune: NETTLETON
