We cannot understand
we won’t comprehend
the mystery of her gift
what it means to me
The power of her faith
beyond my feeble mind
leaving all to God
trusting in him
All she had she gave
in the offering plate
on the altar cloth
unto our sovereign God
Believing in him
that he would provide
all she had she gave
humbly, to the Lord
