By the Spirit’s Choosing – 2 – v2

A knowing of our lives

our talents and strengths

our histories and beliefs

the Spirit speaking

guiding us from within

By the Spirit’s choosing

gifts from God

talents to be used

given to each of us

welling up from within

Our hands, our feet

our voices to God’s cause

becoming workers in the field

sheep and shepherds as well

doing our Master’s work

earlier poem:

By the Spirit’s Choosing

The talents, the gifts

shared in the congregation

out into the world

our unique ministries

all by the Spirit’s choosing

How wondrous

incredible to imagine

the way the gifts are given

to each to use for God’s glory

all part of the heavenly plan
