the stones we carry
ready to give them up
to turn them over, oh Lord
giving our burdens
our prayers, petitions
stones we long have carried
our cares and worries
our ballast on the altar
giving them to God
our lives open
our spirits ready
making space, room,
our vessels now empty
a place for the cargo
a place for our witness
for our gifts, our talents,
a place for the Lord
