My Talent

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used to think I understood

What You wanted from me,

But more and more I’m wondering

Just what I’m meant to be.

 

I want to serve You in my life,

But I’m not brave or strong,

And I do not have what it takes

To bring the lost along.

 

I want to do what I should do

To live my life in You,

But I’m not certain that I know

What You need me to do.

 

Lord, I know that my redemption

Is born of Grace, not deeds,

But we are called to help, also,

In this world of great needs.

 

I want to stand with those who serve,

Whose work delights You so.

Please help me find my talent, Lord,

And help that talent grow.

 

Matthew 25:21

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
