To go, to give
to serve, to live
the power of her faith
to change the face of the earth
to lead us by her example
to go and serve in love
She came to the altar
with two humble coins
giving all she had
humbly, to the Lord
offering an example
of true faith in life
trusting in the Lord to give
everything she needed
all she needs in life

The Mystery of Her Gift
We cannot understand
we won’t comprehend
the mystery of her gift
what it means to me
The power of her faith
beyond my feeble mind
leaving all to God
trusting in him
All she had she gave
in the offering plate
on the altar cloth
unto our sovereign God
Believing in him
that he would provide
all she had she gave
humbly, to the Lord

Without Words - 2
The coins she offered
from her empty purse
the love she gave
humbly, to the Lord
Without word conveyed
the wonder of her faith
giving all she had
humbly, to the Lord
