Offering Our Lives by Raymond A. Foss

In response to God’s gifts
we offer our lives to God
all we have given, even that not enough
for all we have received;
but a worthy gift,
our lives to God

Too often, we hold back
lending God but a portion
a piece of ourselves
uncommitted to his call
blind, selfish, self-centered
following the ways of the world

Turn back to God
in the temples of our hearts
following the Christ
offering our whole selves
all that we are
humbly giving to God
