my best offering

i came with a heavy heart, but He took my burdens away.
i was a lost soul, but He said He'll keep me.
i'm clueless with no direction, and He guides me.
i'm scared, the world does seem unfair, and He guards me.

i look up to Him, and He smiles,
and then i asked "Father, what could i offer You for the things You've done in my life? i know i owe You much, and i love You. i'll do just about anything."
His smile brings about peace, and He said,
"Kid, i love you, and i don't want nothing much but your heart. i've given you mine, and you're heart is what i've been longing to have. but then i don't want to force you. i will always love you the way you are, no matter what." and He hugs me real tight.
tears started to fall from my eyes.

the only thing i know is that my heart is the hardest to give.
but the best to offer,
many times i check it over and over again,
trying to let it go and lay it down at His feet.
hard indeed, but His love made it easy for me to do so.

this
is
my
best
offering,
Dad
