water in the drought – v3

humble on this journey
faithful in the desert
water in the drought
giving in to our struggles
offering to God
all that we can offer
not just excess
it will be enough.

only giving Caesar
that which he claims
and no more than that
offering God the rest
water in the desert
faithful in the dust
our few coins offered to God
it will be enough.
