GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
Each of us as God’s children
Are given gifts deep within,
They are His spiritual gifts,
Ones to help us grow and lifts
Us to a better way to live,
We then to others can give.

A testimony of Jesus, God’s Son,
Can radiate that truth to everyone,
His love-light burning bright
As we serve with all our might,
A testimony that He saved us all
From Satan’s grasp and the fall.

To speak and understand another,
To communicate to a foreign brother,
When missionaries from far and wide
Speak fluently, the joy they can’t hide
As they teach the Gospel in another tongue
In some small country quite far flung.

The gift of discernment is known,
This precious gift is often shown
In many ways to help us know
Which way in life we should go,
Warns us when evil is coming near,
Tells us of danger so we need not fear.

Many other gifts of the spirit are given
From our loving Father in heaven,
Given to His children to progress,
A crown of glory one day to possess,
Seek out the gift bestowed upon you
And live with the spirit your life through.
