THOUSAND DOLLAR PIZZAS

ALBUM: Amazing Hope 'n' Humor
Song Story:
THE MUSIC. Written with guitar in hand watching a bull frog stare at me from the pond at the ALIVE Music Festival in Canton Ohio USA, thinking about that sad January day when we ordered what became a very expensive pizza. We should have asked for delivery!!!
THE LYRICS:
The song story is in the song... and it is true. The pizza that night ended up costing $1,003.11 (which doesn't rhyme with anything, so I had to speak it!) Yet it's so amazing -- we've had a lot of unexpected big bills come up, and yet ...
God always keeps His 2nd Corinthians 9 promise to those who obey Him, including in trusting Him and SHOWING that trust by tithing, giving 10% off the top of their income. Lack of tithing shows lack of trust -- which God STILL will graciously overlook while blessing us sometimes.... but we miss SO much that way. It's not just Jesus's requirement (Matthew 23:23 and Luke 11:42) .....
It's even fun to watch and see how God HELPS us afford the $1,000 pizzas that come into our lives.
Dedicated to our Providing Lord, 21 June 2009

That day had started out so very well
despite all the things that I just had to do.
I'd paid all my bills and glanced at my red Bible.
Even my job went well -- the boss was OUT !
Picked up my phone and called up seven friends.
But never would sadly have guessed how this day would end.
Here's my sad tale of woe... how my great day choose to go.... <bass solo :>

My day'd been full, __ but my stomach wasn't.
Too tired to cook, but yearning food that's hot.
Looked in my wallet, found a hidden Twenty.
Picked up my phone and called the Pizza Spot.
Mushroom and cheese to go....
Just five short miles to Joy!
BUT now my tale of woe -- how my great day chose to go... <bass solo :>

Pulled out my driveway. Did something real stupid.
It was so dumb that I sure ain't saying what.
The bill showed that pizza had cost a thousand bucks.
Here's my sad tale of woe: The bill was really more.
But in songs we can't say
The bill was <Spoken:> "One thousand three dollars and eleven cents;
Went to my book case, pulled out that red Bible.
Panic for coming bills can make us think of that.
Philippians 4 says God provides for our needs --
Sor--ry: Music for this songwriting ends right here.
see how we'll EVER afford. But our Great God PROMISES and proves again and again that He will provide all the needs for anyone who TRUSTS Him...
IF we follow His Words in the Bible like Malachi 3, including to trust God with our finances and to share with other people.
From 2nd Corinthians 9:8 New Living Translation, “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” ----------
Including when Life brings YOU a Thousand Dollar Pizza.
