THINK BIG he roared and from the crowded hall
the echo gathering force roared back THINK BIG
the secret path to hope to joy success to all
ill let you in on it christ cursed the fig
no fruit but first from him a deeper secret learn
to love in this the law and prophets both
are filled no need to limit what you earn
just learn to love with pure intent nothing loath
and then think big he 11ll buy far more than hope could dream
sell bonds sell homes insure his life the rose
no longer needs a thorn the key supreme
Is love he s thinking bigger than he knows
behold in this eternal war is done
the christ is wed to mammon those twain made one
