Offering at the Altar
I bring no unblemished firstlings
that prefigured the sacrifice
of God’s Son, no first fruits,
no doves, not even fine flour.
Instead, I surrender my will—
forfeit forgetfulness,
renounce indolence,
give away ungodliness.
I relinquish procrastination,
excuses, distraction, doubt;
replace complacency
with exactness, enmity with love.
and narrow the distance
to His presence.
