In the singular, special,
One gift
for the Kingdom;
One gift
to be used in service;
One gift
offered to God to use;
Many talents,
One gift;
Many gifts from God
but One gift to share.
The One gift special,
One gift more than the
others,
to be given to God
in His service;
The One gift that is
different
given to us to witness;
A light we have been gifted
for the world;
Not to be hidden, to be
mingled,
with the other gifts given;
One gift to offer,
One gift to share.
