Songs about giving

[lemleroy]

Would appreciate any song suggestions (or other creative worship element) related to giving/being a generous giver to do as an offertory special.

Hello!

I ran a series of queries off the CCLI database, using lyrics-based and theme-based terms, to best exemplify what I suppose you would be looking for.

I then spot-checked the results, and from the results picked those songs that I believed best worked.

That said, one of my own songs made the list, so I put it up front, so you could check it out for yourself. I wouldn't have included it if I hadn't received word about this being used in other churches, but since I have, I felt it was only appropriate that you be made aware of its effectiveness. (It's a parody song, and you can hear the song on iTunes, or from my website at www.nickalexander.com).

The rest of these songs, I believe, also can work. Let me know!

I once wrote a worship song based on the 8th commandment which is basically a prayer that God would help us become better stewards of His blessings.
Here is a link to the song on my SoundClick page:

Feel free to use it if you like it.
Continuing blessings,
