His Gift and Mine

[70 words]

Over against the treasury
He sits who gave Himself for me.
He sees the coppers that I give
Who gave His life that I might live.
He sees the silver I withhold
Who left for me His throne of gold,
Who found a manger for His bed,
Who had nowhere to lay His head;
He sees the gold I clasp so tight,
And I am a debtor in His sight.

Edith B. Gurley
