offering water in the drought – v2

We must be humble on the journey,

faithful in the desert times,

trusting in God, that He will provide;

We are to offer water in the drought;

Giving in to our struggles

offering to God our lives,

all that we can offer

not just the excess;

Knowing it will be enough.

We must only give to Caesar

that which he claims,

treasure of this earth

and no more than that;

We must offer God the rest

offering water in the desert

faithful in the dust, the struggles;

our few coins offered to God;

Knowing it will be enough.
