Because I have been given much, I too must give;
Because of thy great bounty Lord, each day I live.
I shall divide my gifts from Thee with every brother that
I see who has the need of help from me.

Because I have been sheltered, feed by thy good care,
I cannot see another's lack and I not share
My glowing fire my loaf of bread,
My roof's safe shelter overhead, that he too may be comforted.

Because I have been blessed by the great love, dear Lord,
I'll share my love again according to thy word
I shall give love to those in need;
I'll show that love by word and deed;
thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed.
