My Offering

Shirley A Mandel
I cast my offering
at your feet, Jesus,
a set of tarnished
gifts at the foot of the cross
I give you my sins, my griefs
and my many worries,
for you said "Cast your cares upon me,
for I care for you."

But I have another offering
for you too, Lord,
and it's a thank offereing
because you haven't failed me yet.

No, you haven't failed me yet.

And you truly have been, are, and will be
eternally Wonderful.
