Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In a world that’s always takin’, where the selfish often roam,
There’s a call from Christ our Savior, to share the love we’ve known.
Paul wrote to the Corinthians, plant your seed with faith and cheer,
For the Lord will bless your givin’, when His love is drawin’ near.
(Chorus)
Give with a joyful heart, oh, give with a joyful heart!
Share the blessings He’s bestowed, let His love be where you start.
With a smile and open hand, sow His grace across the land,
God loves a cheerful giver, give with a joyful heart!
(Verse 2)
Every coin and every moment, offered in the Savior’s name,
Lights a fire of hope and mercy, fannin’ high His holy flame.
Not from duty or compulsion, but from love that overflows,
Give as Jesus gave for us, and watch His kingdom grow!
(Chorus)
Give with a joyful heart, oh, give with a joyful heart!
Share the blessings He’s bestowed, let His love be where you start.
With a smile and open hand, sow His grace across the land,
God loves a cheerful giver, give with a joyful heart!
(Bridge)
Oh, the harvest will be plenty, when we give as He has shown,
For the Lord provides abundance, from the seeds that we have sown.
With every gift we offer, His joy will overflow,
Blessin’ both the giver and the ones who need it so!
(Verse 3)
When we stand before our Maker, with our hands and hearts laid bare,
He’ll see the love we’ve given, and the burdens that we’ve shared.
So let’s keep on givin’ freely, ‘til we reach that golden shore,
Where the joy of cheerful givin’ reigns forevermore!
(Chorus)
Give with a joyful heart, oh, give with a joyful heart!
Share the blessings He’s bestowed, let His love be where you start.
With a smile and open hand, sow His grace across the land,
God loves a cheerful giver, give with a joyful heart!
(Outro)
Hallelujah, praise His name, forever He’s the same!
Give with a joyful heart, we’ll lift His holy flame!
Give with a joyful heart, oh, give with a joyful heart,
In the love of Jesus, give with a joyful heart!
