Romans 12: 6-8

People bring their pain to me

For I can make them laugh;

I take their pain within my heart

And give them back but half.

I can’t take all their pain away,

And they don’t ask me to.

But we all need someone who knows

The things we’re going through,

Someone who knows, but more, who cares

And helps us bear our load;

For laughter and a caring word

Can smooth a rocky road.

We all have gifts God gave to us

To use to serve his plan;

My gift is one of laughter and

I share it when I can.

Romans 12

6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
