Tithe Like Milk

Tithe Like Milk
Words and Music By Derwin Hinson © 1996 BMI

Well the Bible says one tenth is suppose to be our tithe
But still some try and work a deal and see if they can get by
They don’t realize the blessings that they themselves been robbed
Or the fact they’re stealing taking away from, the work of God.

So one day they get to thinking and through faith they really step out
But still they got a stingy heart and they don’t like it, so they pout
So they try to justify think of what they love the most
They get offended if you mention not the NET you nitwit…but the GROSS!

Chorus
They say “Well I used to tithe a little bit and it weren’t that long ago
And I felt it’s ok to tithe like milk, why wouldn't you think so?
Sometimes I tithe two percent, a half percent, or one
I felt like anything is ok just as long as it’s some
Anyway whether I tithe like milk or whether I milk the tithe
Everything seems to be ok, I mean I always do get by
And anyway ain't it suppose to be my business what I decide to give to Him
Whether it’s a half, one percent, or two, or sometimes even skim”

Well remember that the Bible tells us exactly what to do
And it says that we should give and it will be given unto you
Oh to give in the wrong attitude, why that wouldn't be very smart
Because God sees and knows all and He loves a cheerful giving heart

Bridge
Wonder what they’d say on that fateful day if old Peter lets em in?
Welcome to the land of milk and honey! Guess who the milkman is my friend?

Last Chorus
Well they'd say, "Peter, I used to tithe a little bit and it weren’t that long ago,
And I felt it was ok to tithe like milk, why tell me it’s so!
Why sometimes I'd tithe a half percent, two percent, or one
I felt like anything was ok just as long as I tithed some
And whether I tithed like milk or whether I milked the tithe
Everything in my life seemed to be ok, I mean I always did get by
Ain't it suppose to be my business what I decide to give to Him
Whether it’s a half, one percent, or two, or sometimes even skim”

TAG
Oh Peter! I wish I’d tithed Vitamin D Whole. Come on! Let me in!!
