Our Gifts

Our Gifts Are For Encouraging

Help us, Lord, to see ourselves
Through your loving eyes
To see what you see in us
And to come to realize

That everything that we possess
Comes directly from you,
The gifts, the talents you’ve placed within
Are there for us to use

To reach with hope to those that hurt
To those who’ve lost their way
It’s your gifts, Lord, they’re not our own,
So take them Lord we pray

And use them for your glory,
So others may be blessed
And have their spirits lifted
And their souls also refreshed

So they can then be challenged
To seek more after you
To be much more empowered
For what ever they may do

For each of us have talents
That God has placed within
So we can encourage others
To have a closer walk with Him

And as we encourage another,
We can be encouraged ourselves
For there needs to be a continual flow
And a continual pouring out

And as we do this, we will find
Insecurities will disappear
And we’ll be strengthened in His love
To overcome our fears.
