Singing the Same Tune

Ephesians 4:7-14

To all having grace been given a measure,
Of the giving of Christ for this reason why;
We were all given a special gifted treasure,
While being captives reaching for the sky.

Going down into lower parts of the earth,
He that went down also went into Heaven;
That the value of all is of its true worth,
For each and every talent that been given.

Some be made Apostles others as prophets,
With others telling the Gospel as preachers;
While others might be singers or even poets,
Still others may profess in being teachers.

Training saints as servants in the church,
Building up the body of Christ to be whole;
To become harmonious of faith in a search,
And of full knowledge of Christ in our soul.

Let us grow into the full measure of Christ,
No longer be children rather as fully grown;
Savvy His life and why He was sacrificed,
And with being the foundation cornerstone.
