What Has Thou Given Me?

I gave, I gave My life for you
But what has thou given unto Me?
I asked you to follow My ways
Asked you to love one another
But you have allowed greed in
You focus more on what you want
Forgetting the broken beside you
For you to have done this against them
You have done it against Me as well
I gave, I gave My life for you
And what has thou given unto Me?
I asked you to be of help to another
You coveted all the wealth for yourself
I asked you to heal the brokenhearted
You rather compounded their woes
I asked you to be tender with hearts
You rather act based on selfishness
You haven't done this against them
Rather you have done it against Me
I look down from Heaven
I see so much hurt and pain
I asked you to be my eyes
But you are consumed with your wants
I gave, I gave My life for you
And what has thou given unto Me?
- Jesus


Thank you for your time.


My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

indeed what have we given in return?

may the good lord open our eyes to indeed reflect on the beautiful things that JESUS gave us and consequently the grace to reciprocate accordingly.
