The Widow's Two Mites

Mark · Vocal House

[Verse 1 - the first commandment] Which is the first commandment of all? Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, With all thy soul, mind, and strength. [Chorus - the second] Love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater. To love is more than whole burnt offerings and sacrifices; Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. [Verse 2 - beside the treasury] Jesus sat over against the treasury And watched how the people cast money in. Many that were rich cast in much; Then one poor widow came near. [Refrain - two mites] She threw in two mites, which make a farthing. He called his disciples to see. This poor widow hath cast in more Than all they which have cast into the treasury. [Outro - all her living] They gave from their abundance; She of her want cast in all that she had, Even all her living.
