Make Me an Offer

I once said to God

Make me an offer

But now I say

God, make me an offering

A lot has changed

'Are you there?'

became

There you are

became

You are there

and

You are here

Do you care?

became

You do care

Can you hear me?

became

I am listening

and...

and on occasion

(In my stubbornness)

Speak no more

And I said,

Ok, speak

Your servant is listening

Make me an offer

And he said

I will make you an offering

Speak no more

and know me.

He made me an offering

But he offered so much more
