“The Gifts”
When God calls us home to heaven
To take our place as He’s designed,
At his table called forever
Where we’ll find our seat assigned,
We must plan to bring some gifts
As a most proper guest would do.
But, forget the Mink, the Ermine
And the jewels of the rainbow hue,
For though wealthy we may be
On Earth, our wealth will stay.
The only gifts that we can bring
Is what we gave away.
