To use our gifts

In some sense, faith
so much to believing
the unseen, the future
the courts of highest heaven

Like the story of the thirsty
finding a pump, dry
being told to prime the pump
to get the living water

Our choice too,
whether to be stingy
to hold the message in our hearts
or to share it freely

We are called to use our gifts
to trust in our Savior
to believe his promise for us
the proof in his giving

Choosing to go to the cross
first to descend from heaven
knowing already what was to come
dying so that we may live

So we are to prime the pump
using our gifts, our water
pouring out that we may be filled
with abundant living waters
