Part of a concept album where I write a song from the perspective of one of the people in each chapter of the book of Mark.
Mark 12 (Poor Widow)
Capo 4 (open hi E)
Cmaj7
I sometimes wonder why I come
Em
It’s such a minuscule sum
Cmaj7
Only god would notice if it wasn’t there
Em
The rest of the world would go on unaware
It’s hard not to see them rich folks though
Always making such a grandiose show
Dumping piles for all the rest of us to see
Looking down their noses at people like me
Fmaj7
It may not be much but i give it anyway
Am
I know my God can see
?
I can’t do more than give it all away
E7
I’m sure that’s all He wants of me
What if I could be someone who’s rich
To see our lives make a switch
I suppose then I wouldn’t be me
And I‘m the person God wants me to be
I suppose that I’ll never really know
What God thinks of this whole show
I will pray and trust with my whole heart
That he cares for my little, tiny part

Such a beautiful meditation on humility. Well done. Those ringing open strings are beautiful.

I like how the pensive feel of the chords match so well to the lyric and the perspective of the widow in the temple.
