10548. That Window In The Skies

1 I have heard some people say,
Who are in the narrow way,
That they are trusting Jesus now for all;
They have land and houses, too,
But God’s tithes are overdue,
And the blessings they receive are very small.

Refrain:
There’s a window in the skies
That will brighten up your eyes;
There’s a window God will open
When you bring in all your tithes;
There’s a window in the skies
That will fill you with surprise;
That window God will open
When you bring in all your tithes.

2 They have losses but no gain,
And their heart is full of pain,
When business will not go just as it should;
O so little they can give,
For it takes it all to live,
They would like to do such great things if they could. [Refrain]

3 There’s the heathen need the Word,
The glad news they’ve never heard,
These stingy people keep from God His tithes;
And their heart is cold and lone,
There’s no music in their tone,
And they often wipe the teardrops from their eyes. [Refrain]
