"They brought unto Him [Jesus] a penny. And He saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto Him, Caesar's. Then saith He unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:19-22).
Give unto God the things that are God's;
To Caesar the things that are his.
Live not for things the world applauds,
As tempting today as that is.
The government's image may be on that cent,
Implying a portion you owe.
But God's image on you to you has been lent,
Which God by His grace did bestow.
Render to God what He wondrously gave
By His marvelous work of creation,
And give back to Him what He purchased to save
By His merciful work of salvation.
Surrender to God! Hold nothing back
Of your heart, of your soul, or your mind.
For in doing so, you never shall lack
In the blessings from God you will find.
