when what a heart has to offer
seems an offering far too
small...
is that perhaps a place
of potential beauty?
is that not perhaps the
moment when Abba
shows Himself
strong and faithful?
and once a heart admits
the call is beyond the capabilities
at hand
is that not the exact time
when He will be most glorified?
and in the offering of what seems
beyond one's capabilities
beyond one's resources
is that not truly giving
a sacrifice of praise?
and for an offering
to be a sacrifice
must it not
involve
giving
that which is not easy
to
give?
a song in the dark of night
when all seems lost
is a sacrifice of praise.
daring to walk in faith when
fear threatens to keep one
from following the call
is a sacrifice of praise.
daring to say thank you
for His blessings even
when the heart is
broken into shards
and slivers of glass
is a sacrifice of praise.
and giving financially
when numbers don't add up
is a sacrifice of praise.
raising arms high
with hands empty
and heart abandoned
to the only One worthy
of praise is a sacrifice of praise.
and the sacrifice of praise never stops
praising in that place where
sacrifice collides with praise
and His glory shines brightly
for all to see.
