herself on the altar – v11

She gave but two coins
but it was herself on the altar,
the widow in the temple
offering herself to God

We look to her example
of extravagant giving,
we long to be like her
in our faith journey

She gave but two coins
but she gave all of what she had,
she placed herself on the altar
offered unto God
