The Owner

Who is The Owner? He owns all the cattle on a thousand hills!
He created the heavens and the earth and all that dwell therein
God owns everything: we just get to use it for awhile
Once you realize He's The Owner every day you'll just smile

It's just true: treasures on earth will go away and fade
Store up your treasures in heaven:  send them on ahead
O man, why hold on to the temporary things that you have?
Give them away and you'll receive the joy that you crave

The Owner knows all things and He records what you do
The principle is simple: Give and and shall be given unto you
Every day can be like giving Christmas gifts with love
Remember every good and perfect gift is from above

G    Give your money and your life in service to others
I     It's the only way to find the joy written in His Word
V    Victory comes when you hilariously give like The Owner
E    Exercise the gift of giving: truly are you called and chosen
