The Beauty of Diversity
The talents Christ entrusts to us
Are purely for His work with cheer
Gifts and blessings in abundance
You’ll see them everywhere
Most souls sitting in a pew
Have gifts not yet revealed
To those all around them
Their fate’s not yet been sealed.
Encourage each church member
To make an offering to their Lord
Of the beautiful gifts in diversity
That the Holy Spirit does afford
For none have been left bereft
Of gifts for the mission field
Whether that gift is hospitality
Or a sermon others to yield
If you think you have no talents
To offer to your Lord
Then pray for His guidance
Pray with others in one accord
Your gifts may be simple
They needn’t be complex
For there’s diversity in the souls to reach
And gifts to help the variety of shipwrecks
Some make wonderful teachers
On others faith has been bestowed
Some as missionaries go to other countries
God’s love to be showed
By building schools and churches
Offering their talents and time
In the Beauty of this Diversity
God’s given this poet a rhyme.
