God-Given Gift

“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God… if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 4:10,11). 

The Lord has provided the gift of His choosing
To each of His people by manifold grace.
As stewards of God, then, we ought to be using
Our God-given gift in our God-given place.

We serve one another with gifts God assigned,
That God may in all things be thus glorified
Through Jesus with all of our heart, soul, and mind,
Performed with ability God will provide.

O Lord, to whom praise and dominion belongs,
The name of our Lord Jesus Christ we would lift
Forever and ever with worship, with songs,
And service reflecting our God-given gift.
