Got this penny here in my hand
It’ll buy me this world
They say
Hold on tight, don’t let go
Fight for the stuff it’ll bring
In this penny put your trust
Dream the rich dream
They say
It’ll buy me this world
In the alley, the slums, the street
He’s there
With the less-than-they’s
He’s a fool
They say
If he really did
Forfeit all to
Stoop down to them-
The unnatural
Surrender
Heart of God in rags of a poor man
The richest portrait of love
Let go of all to love
The ones with nothing to give
Got this penny here in my hand
It’ll buy me this world
They say
Unnatural to let go
Foolish to forfeit
The world it’ll buy
I’ve seen the utmost surrender
Worth more than a penny
The heart of God
Offensively humble
Irreverently bold
This world
Is found wanting
Next to that
Rich portrait of love
Got these pennies in our hands
Clinging
Defending
Trusting
A bankrupt dream

Beautiful Brit. Shiny pennies are but nothing compared to the riches we will inherit by trusting and believing in our Lord and Savior. That poem touched my soul. Did you write it? Beautiful... just like you.
ReplyDeleteYour always in my prayers, God has a wonderful plan for your life. Keep following your heart, and trusting in God and He will lead you in the direction you are to go and He will reward your faithfulness.
Blessings always. Diana C.
Hi Diana!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about you the other day... It's always good to hear from you, thank-you for the kind words.
I hope this holiday week is full of reminders of how much there is to be thankful for.
Hugs to you and Rick-
Britt
You have such a talent with words Britt. Thank-you again for sharing your talent with us.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you yesterday. I was listening to some live Dave from the Red Rocks weekend boxed set from last year. Do you have it? If not you really should get it. We were there on one of the nights and it was a magical evening for sure.
"Dream girl" is the song that makes me think about my love every time. They played it the night we were there and we just hugged each other through out the song with tears streaming down our cheeks.
There is an amazing 11 and 1/2 minute version of, "Lie in our graves" in the boxed set that always brings me chills when I listen to it. It's an awesome jam.
This boxed set is a MUST HAVE for a hardcore DMB fan such as yourself. I bet though that you already have it. ;)
