Poetry
Out of our lives, our abundance
the gifts heaped upon us
we give, we share
out of your love
abiding within our hearts
The measure we receive,
more than we can use for ourselves
to be given to others in need
The provision of the Lord
our daily bread and more
offered by the Lord
for us to understand
the choice of Christ
the love he gave
on that altar, that cross
to be the Christ in the world
sharing without any loss
