Regular commenter Mark Heath left a comment here after this post on frugal living. I thought it was so good that it should be a post of its own. Do stop by Mark’s blog as he often has good stuff to say.
“I was reflecting recently on the fact that the word frugal doesn’t appear in any worship song ever. I have been thinking about how I can rectify this lamentable situation with a new song of my own.
I’ve got most of the lyrics for the first section worked out. It goes to the tune of Paul Oakley’s classic song “I want to be holy”:
I want be frugal, I want be prudent
I want to spend my cash the way you want me to
I want be solvent, not living on credit
I want to be content with what you’ve given meI want to be debt-free, not walking in worry
I want to give away what you have given meI want to be much more generous
I want to be more like you
Keep helping me give more freelyfeel free to suggest additional lines if you know the tune”
So if you can add to this or write a better song of simplicity then send them in and we’ll publish them.
