Pantry for Canaanites



I can only afford one meal a day

when I need fuel to stay warm

But my sins are forgiven

and eternal life with God secured


I live on crackers and write letters

because this world hurts my eyes

with all of its broken beauty

stained by sin according to His plan


I live on chips and dream

of my children remembering me

and my love for them

and our God with all of His beauty


I live on applesauce and speak freely

among the crumbs that fell

from my master’s table above

They touch my lips and wipe away my sin


I can only afford one meal a day

when money is low and I need fuel to not freeze

But my sins are forgiven

and eternal life with them secured
