Lyrics
The Tenth
Set aside the tenth before you pay your rent Set aside the tenth before your money’s spent Set aside the tenth before you pay your bills Set aside the tenth before your money’s spent
Set aside, set aside, set aside, the tenth (4x’s)
Will a man rob God, (I’m not really sure)
Do you know what I’m talking about (I don’t really know) I’m talking about the tithe (is that some kind of soap)
I can tell that you’re confused, so let me break it down
Funky first fresh fruits is what the Lord wants from me
And God loves a cheerful giver, hearts fill with glee
So stand and hold it up, so the pastor can see
And God will pour you out a blessing more than you can receive
You see the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof
And all things were created for Him to enjoy
All He ask is ten percent of all that is yours
So if you fill me, and your with me, come on make some noise
Set-a side the tenth (4x’s)
Praise the Lord (4x’s)
Set aside, set aside, set aside, the tenth (4x’s)
Give, and it shall be given un to you, pressed down, shaken together
Running over, into your lap, for as you give, the same measure will be given un to you
God said, put me to the test, I promise you’ll be blessed (4x’s)
Bring all the tithe into the store house, that there may be food in my house And try me now in this, says the Lord of Host
And I will now open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing, that there will not be room enough
for you to receive it
Set aside the tenth before you pay your rent Set aside the tenth before your money’s spent Set aside the tenth before you pay your bills Set aside the tenth before your money’s spent
Set aside, set aside, set aside, the tenth (4x’s)
Praise the Lord (4x’s)
