What we cannot keep

What we cannot keep

We’ve come, Lord. 
We’ve found You worth it all! 
We’ve lost, yes, so much. 
Babies and homes and dreams. 

But how can we measure it all 
When next to you - they are so small? 
We couldn’t keep a single one, 
But we can give them to You. 

“Give Me your precious things,
The children and homes and hopes.
You can’t keep any of them. 
But I can keep them all.”
