Not in our gifts


The Lord wanting offerings
in our hearts
Not in our gifts
flowery rhetoric
not in choice burnt offerings
laid on the altar
None of these matter
detestable to God
Only through our hearts
may the breach be restored
How we live
caring for our neighbors
how we love
in our walk day to day
Do we love all our neighbors
Do we let God take the reins
