Can You? Do You? Would You?

by Kaci Rigney

Oh, can you count the stars?
Or can you count the sand?
Or hold the seas in jars?
 
Oh, can you stay My hand?
Or can you touch My face?
Do you know where I stand?
 
Can you measure My grace?
Or mercy for your sin?
Can you know time and space?
 
Do you know hearts of men?
Every star, can you name?
Can you make storms begin?
 
Would you take all sin’s blame?
Even those who hate you?
Oh, could you bear the shame?
 
I do. I can.
I did. I AM
