THE TALENT
God gave me a talent;
And I threw it away;
Into the winds of yesterday.
I had no time to work for God;
Nor follow the paths my dear Saviour had trod.
So He gave it again to this unworthy soul;
Taking me humbly into His fold.
He said, ‘My child, what will you do
With the talent I have twice given you?’
I cried, ‘O Lord, forgive me, I pray,
I’ll take the talent and use it today.
I’ll teach others that they might see
The wonderful life that’s found in me.
