Faithful Stewardship
Chorus:
May we not hesitate and waver
Walking with Jesus our Savior
Let’s do ourselves and others a favor
Through our faithful stewardship behavior.
Verses:
Walking and talking with Jesus,
Helps the joy in our hearts ignite,
Giving as an act of worship,
Takes us beyond duty to delight.
Putting our faith into action,
We share our gifts with love and praise,
We won’t miss out on life’s pleasures
Joyfully giving in God pleasing ways.
Believing God will meet our needs,
We give thanks for all we receive,
Faithful stewardship is what we do,
After we say we believe.

Allowing God’s melodies to be heard in our hearts,
We sing His praise and joyfully give.

Keeping our hearts in rhythm with the Lord
We share the joy of Christ whom we believe.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

NO ONE CAN LOVE WITHOUT GIVING

But, no one can love without giving
Yes, anyone can give without loving,
But, no one can love without giving.

STIR US, LORD
V.1

To respond to what Almighty God has done
Know the joy that comes to all who give.

Stir us, Lord, today.
Stir us, Lord, today

To meet their need.

Love is the deed.
