Gifts of the Spirit

Gifts of the Spirit, I want you knowing, so you will not slip back.

Into the pagan, ways you were living, easily led astray. 

—–

Led by the Spirit, nobody speaking, can lay a curse on God..

And to confess that “Jesus is Lord” is, part of the faith we’ve got. 

—–

Many the gifts, but single the Spirit. Many jobs, but one Lord.

Multiple actions, for all believers, all active by one God.

—–

Not for ourselves, but for the good of everyone God has made.

Wisdom and knowledge, power for healing, and faith are all displayed.

—–

One prophesies, another works marvels, somebody else can judge.

One speaks in tongues, another interpret, each by the Spirit’s nudge.
