Are we like the scribes

sitting in the land of plenty
a blessed nation
abundance from sea to sea
what is our offering

are we like the scribes
from our abundance giving
no cost to us
only our excess to God

if so, we give nothing
no cost to them at all
only surplus for the temple
for the worship of God
