The definition of the noun, refrain, is: “a repeated line or number of lines in a poem or song, typically at the end of each verse.” So, that’s what the phrase, give to gain, is in the chorus of one of my songs.
Not so coincidentally the song’s title is “Give To Gain.”
And I’ll say, right up front, it’s not a song about some sort of prosperity message. AND it’s not a song against those so-called “prosperity messages.” But it most certainly DOES comply with the Biblical message of how you have to give something in order to gain access to Heaven (aka: paradise).
It really is a cryin’ shame that most of the world goes around blowing other people up and destroying economies and families. Or cheating, lying, and stealing. Or a million other dastardly deeds. Such a shame that they’d rather do that than find a way to help and share loving compassion with a fellow human being.
And it’s so sad how they don’t realize what an awful choice they’re making. A choice with never-ending consequences. It’s as if they prefer their dark hearts over the loving light of Jesus. In fact, I’m sure there’s somebody who just cringed when they read His name. And that’s some shaky ground to be standing on.
So, that’s what I wrote and sang about in this song.
You can get it, and 12 other songs in the “Amen” collection, in a physical (that’s right, physical) book on Amazon.
But, not everyone, who calls himself (or herself…and those are the only two choices) a Christian, will like the songs. Because the Amen collection drives home the Biblical points. No coasting on watered-down messages you’ve heard over and over.
So, what do you think? Are you ready for a songbook journal that might help you focus on rightly dividing the word of truth? Then, Amen, a vintage 2000 collection, might be something you’d enjoy. And remember, all the songs can be downloaded from a super secret link in the book.
Get it and let me know your thoughts.
Ain’t it funny how we give to gain.
But let’s follow the lead of the Creator of this earthly plane.
It’s a wonder how we give to gain.
But it’s really not giving; it’s the one way of living,
That we should learn to give to gain.
Stay tuned,
