water in the drought – v5

we must be humble on the journey,

faithful in the desert times,

offering water in the drought;

giving in to our struggles

offering to God

all that we can offer

not just the excess;

it will be enough.

we must only give to 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.
