The Widow's Mite

Some have lost what they never had

And yet gave all.

All that they had, though it was nothing.

God saw, and it pleased him.

He read their hearts aright.

He didn’t take their offering at face value.

Why do we – why do I?

I thought I gave all and yet it was nothing.

Now I want all and have nothing to give.

I give my nothing.

Help me to open my heart and

my hands to receive your all

– or your nothing.
