Divine Gifts Aplenty
Born into this world with nothing
when we leave it's all left behind
in our time here all that we have
is gifted from the one very kind
When we count up all our goods
home, friends, food come from above
as well as everything we call ours
it's truly gifted from hand of love
We can't number all we've received
from our birth to our dying day
such is the goodness of our God
praise we give to thankfully pray
So remember all we've received
is not ours to keep it's a loan
they are all divine gifts aplenty
God's given loving hand so shown
("God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame." - Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
