How Blessed It Is To Sacrifice

How blessed it is to sacrifice
And be willing to give up all of our things
But, in truth, all we have would not suffice
To repay the price the atonement brings

Thus we should give what is asked of us
And not think of it as too little or too much
Being gracious with our possessions or service
For a humble soul is made of such

And if what is required of us seems too great
Know that our suffering is but a small
Measure of the fullness of weight
That the Lord bore for us one and all

Our Strengths Can Become Our Downfall-A Desire to Sacrifice More Than is Needful
