What is God's Economy?

Paul enumerated this in 2 Cor 8 & 9, and asked the gentile churches to participate, e. g., 1 Cor 16:1,2; Rom 15:25-28, &c. The Great Commandment was to love your neighbour, and Paul was showing them how.

Anyone remember that song that showed how Lee was all about centering on Christ and totally not at all about centering on man?

"O I’m a man—
I’m the meaning of the universe;
Yes, I’m a man—
I’m the meaning of the universe.
God made me such,
I am so much;
I’m the center and the meaning of the universe."

All sarcasm aside, I really do like the tune of the song, if not the message anymore.
