Abundance Meets Need
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Prove that your love is genuine,
Prove sincerity of your love;
I speak that you show everyone,
Being true to Jesus thereof.
You know the grace of our Lord,
Even though He was rich in wealth;
He became poor on His accord,
Poverty gave spiritual health.
For this matter benefits you,
Of the desires of the past;
While you are remaining true,
On accomplishments that will last.
So finish doing it well,
Desiring that you complete it;
And in Heaven that you may dwell,
And rewarded for your merit.
For if the readiness is there,
Acceptable accordingly;
Because what the Lord has to share,
Since your work was done diligently.
I mean not others should be eased,
While you were heavily burdened;
But for fairness, God should be pleased,
For the fact, you have been pardoned.
Your abundance supplies their need,
Giving you an ample supply;
And equality to succeed,
To be fruitful and multiply.
Those who gather much leave nothing,
Than gathers little had no lack;
Having sufficient that will bring,
Enough to share that he will pack.
