THE PARADOX!
I ONCE HAD A NEED
BUT I WAS TOLD TO GIVE
THE EXACT THING THAT I DESIRE
THAT IS THE MYSTERY OF BLESSING
SO I WAS TOLD IT WAS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE
LEST I GO NAKED IN WANT
HM! WHAT A PARADOX!
WHATEVER WE SOW WE REAP
THE SAD SOUL'S TRAVAIL ENDS
IF HE SOWS HAPPINESS INTO THE SOUL OF ANOTHER
THE POOR MAN FINDS RICHES
IF HE CAN PART WITH HIS MITE
THAT VERY NEED OF YOUR LIFE
IS THE THING YOU MUST GIVE
WHAT A PARADOX!
THE THING WE TREASURE REALLY
IS THE THING WE SHOULD GIVE AWAY
THERE'S NO MAGIC TO LIFE'S WAY
TO LIVE IS TO DIE
TO BE RICH IS TO BECOME POOR
TO GATHER YOU FIRST HAVE TO SCATTER
TO REAP YOU MUST FIRST SOW
TO LEAD YOU MUST BE A SERVANT
THIS IS THE PARADOX OF GOD'S WISDOM.
