A knowing of our lives
our talents and strengths
our histories and beliefs
the gifts God has given;
the Spirit speaking
guiding us from within
By the Spirit’s choosing
giving us each a purpose
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
out in the world

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
