As I Ask ...

June 28, 2024

If I tell you everything ...

how much of everything

are you willing to know

If I give you everything ...

how much of everything

are you willing to take

If I promise you anything ...

how much of my promise

are you willing to keep

As I ask you for one thing ...

but how much of that one thing

— are you willing to give
