Christian Poem - Giving Back

Luke 20:25     

Jesus said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

Lord Jesus,

I want to give back to You

What I have taken and given

To other things.

I want to give back Sundays to You

For they were always meant

To be little Easters,

When Christians would gather together

To sing God’s praises

For forgiving our sins

And raising You from the dead.

Give me the courage

And the fortitude

To make Sundays

Full of grace again

By placing You,

Your Church,

And Your people

At the heart

Of these holy days.

Help me to seek You,

And fill me

With Your Spirit.

Teach me

To walk in Your way

Each and every Sunday,

No matter where I am,

No matter what I’m doing,

No matter how I’m feeling,

Help me to give

Sundays back to You.

Amen.
