Parable of the Talents

I just heard the people say The master is going away He gave us talents to invest One he gave to me, two and five to the rest The master is a hard man He reaps and gathers just because he can Unlike the others I am not so bold So I dug a hole and buried his gold Master returned and was glad to see The other two servants earned him a lot of money When I gave master his talent of gold I'll never forget what I was told That I was a wicked and lazy servant and I knew What Master was going to do Send me into the darkness with no relief In that place of weeping and gnashing of teeth God gives talents to us all To some great and others small He wants us to teach others to learn That Jesus is the master and will return
