His Cup for Alms

By the gate he sat
his cup for alms
to make his way
He asked for alms,
to meet his daily needs
They gave him alms
a gift greater
Able to walk
to rise from his mat
never to beg again
His daily need filled
by the name of the living Christ
living water, renewing,
forever singing God’s praise
A witness to God’s grace
