New song

OK, here are the lyrics for my latest song. I think I'm done tinkering (maybe)

TWO MITES (clever title, eh?)

Verse 1: She shuffled in, barely noticed among the well-to-do
Their motives were mixed at best, but her heart was true
Was she embarrassed or ashamed of her gift so small?
Or humbly honored to answer God's call?

How could she have predicted this lesson from the Lord?
I'm sure she just expected that she would be ignored
But He used her to show that giving all in trust
Is the most pleasing to God, so she'd done what she must

Chorus 1: Two mites- it's all she had to give
She trusted Him for what she would need to live
Because she knew He gave her life anyway
All she had was such a small price to pay
Two mites

Verse 2: Looking at my life, my value seems to be so slight
Once again the voices play, "You'll never get it right."
But I know in His hands, my weak gifts are strong
Giving my little for His plan never could go wrong.

Chorus 2: Two mites- it's all I have to give
I"ll trust Him for what I need to live
Because I know He gave me life anyway
And all I am is such a small price to pay
Two mites

Bridge: So dn't be ashamed, whatever your gifts's size
Giving all is the greatest gift in God's eyes
All that you are is all that He asks
He wants a willing heart more than any of your tasks

Chorus 3: Two mites- that's all you have to give
And trust Him for what you need to live
Don't you know He gave you life anyway?
All you are is such a small price to pay
Two mites


Actually I am thinking about changing the last line of the first verse to "Is the most pleasing to God; it's what He asks of us" What do you all think? I may do some other tweaking, too, I was thinking as I just typed it out. But that's definitely the gist of it.

OK. Gotta go. The peace and joy of Christ's Presence to all of you.
