Cast your bread on the waters
He who gives to the poor lends to the Lord.
In due time he’ll receive a good reward.
Boaz fed the widows when harvest time had come
And God blessed him with a loving wife and son.
The prayers of a righteous man accomplish quite a bit.
God answers the one who calls on Him and does not quit.
Elijah prayed for drought; God answered his call.
Elijah prayed again and the rain began to fall
Cast your bread upon the waters
Watch them flow down to the sea
Cast your bread upon the waters
God says, “Put your trust in Me.”
For you know that where your treasure is
Is where your heart will stay
Cast your bread on the waters
There you’ll find it … After many days.
Job’s righteousness was well known, He cared for the poor–
The widows and the orphans who sought out his door.
Still God brought him through suffering, and proved his heart was pure
God answered him in person– His promises are sure
Cast your bread upon the waters
Watch them flow down to the sea
Cast your bread upon the waters
God says, “Put your trust in Me.”
For you know that where your treasure is
Is where your heart will stay
Cast your bread on the waters
There you’ll find it … After many days.
