You'Ve Got It: the Gift That Keeps On Giving
do you realize that God gave you a special and unique skill
a gift, a blessed anointing only because that was His will
too often in today's society it seems to be all about self
the American ideology on the subject of inherent wealth
that everything we have it's something that we alone earned
but that's just an illusion that many can't seem to discern
it's not possible for you to have accomplished everything
in your life and not know
that there were others who came before you
to whom some of your success you owe
yet God gave you a blessing just because He could
a gift to be used for the greater good
it's not something that you can claim, it's not anything that you inspired
it was the grace that God granted you because that was His desire
He gave you this gift for a purpose and a reason
and for you to stir it up in your own season
so what is your gift? that special thing that God gave you
what is that unique endowment that makes you you?
you've got it, you've got it, but it's up to you to find
don't be afraid to uncover it, just keep an open mind
if you can't see yourself as being gifted and don't know what it is
remember you have God's authority and His promises
He gave you a gift to bring purpose and meaning to your life
He gave you an anointing like He did for his son Jesus Christ
so don't be scared to find it, come out of your comfort zone
seek that which was sent to you down from the heavenly throne
but don't be arrogant when you find what your special gift is about
don't get boastful and then act you have all the clout
you've got it, you've got it, the gift that God has confirmed
have an attitude of gratitude so that your gift can be affirmed
be appreciative, be thankful just don't be unmoved
you have the grace of God, in His eyes you are approved
you've got it, you've got it, the gift that will stir you up
the gift that keeps on giving and will forever refill your cup
no longer to seek the approval of man for Father God has your back
utilize your gift and for Christ start making some tracks
realize the gift, apply the gift and with it you will find
it's the reason that God gave His love, power and a sound mind
as only what you do for Christ will last and endure
so use the gift that He's given you and for others open new doors
