(féenevolence

to the tune of “I’m Called Little Buttercup”

They call it Benevolence,

Christian Benevolence.

I give a quarter a week.

My basic philosophy is generosity, I think my giving’s unique.

I’ve given apparel to put in the

barrel,

I’ve given my watch that won’t wind, And shoes that aren’t mated,

I freely donated;

I feel philanthropic and kind.

I’ve always been speedy to help with

the needy,

I’m willing to spare no expense. Since help is essential, I’m so

penitential,

Next year I may give thirty cents. And so to Benevolence,

Christian Benevolence,

I will continue to give

My husband’s old undershirts,

All my old miniskirts;

How I love helping folks live!

Thanks to Rev. Ralph Althouse (from the Northeast Conference Newsletter)
