Priced by Christ – v2

Silent witness
the things remaining
offered, not thrown away
giving our excess to them

Not for our treasury
but for His glory
the tailings of the yard sale
set out as free gifts

At the end of the driveway
the humble neighbors
coming to the offering
left there for them special

To see the faces
hope rising in their eyes
something the others
did not see

While I was mowing
the front lawn
before the church
hearing their thank yous
offered up to God
