Gifts God Gave

God gave me two eyes

So I could see you,

And He gave me two ears

So I could hear, too;

Then in the middle

He put my mouth in

As a tool for blessings

And sing praises to Him.

At the end of each arm

He hung on a hand;

He told me to use them

To help my fellow man.

He gave me two feet

To carry me around,

And made my knees bend

So I could kneel down.

Jesus put in my heart

A great love for Him;

And said, “Love everybody

For I died for them.”

Now with love in my heart

And “Go” in my feet,

In prayer my knees will bend,

With God’s armor, the devil defeat.

I’ll watch with special insight

And listen with my heart.

I’ll guard my mouth carefully

So words will not be sharp.

My arms can give hugs;

My hands lift a load;

My feet can carry good deeds

To help the downtrodden on the road.

Then when all I can do is pray

And just offer love,

Humbly I’ll bow and listen

As God speaks gently from above.

The wonderful gifts from God

Were not for me, you see;

They were to give to you

As He gave them gave to me.
