You received a gift from God,
Give thanks to honor and laud;
So I placed my hands on you,
Knowing that your faith is true.
So fan that gift into flames,
And teach as the Word proclaims;
God wants you to move forward,
For He knows you are no coward.
A spirit of love given,
To show mercy from Heaven;
The power of good judgment,
For praying for atonement.
Do not ever be ashamed,
Whatever you have proclaimed;
Telling others of the Lord,
And being in one accord.
Your power of discipline,
Not a prisoner of sin;
Suffer hardship in the Word,
While each day is unfurled.
God saved us to be holy,
And for His one and only;
Because of what He has done,
The sacrifice of His Son.
Because of His Holy plan,
Made before the world began;
Through Christ He shows His kindness,
For curing our blindness.
Through Jesus He has revealed,
The Good News that has been sealed;
Of eternal life in view,
His free gift waiting for you.
