Tithe of Gratitude
Lyrics and music by Elizabeth Ragsdale
Verse 1
Bring ye all the tithes
To the temple of humble thought.
Let your prayer of thanks be your sacrifice.
The most worthy treasure in my eyes
Is not the silver and gold you’ve brought.
Verse 2
Prove me now herewith.
I will open windows of heav’n.
Abundant love is my precious gift.
Take all you need of it
To be filled up once again.
Chorus
Bring your tithe of gratitude,
And good is multiplied.
Grace upon grace I give to you
Til all are satisfied.
Verse 3
I pour out blessings great,
More than you can receive.
Let this bounty radiate.
It will surely find its way
To meet your neighbor’s need.
Chorus
