This poem’s to
explain in simple verse
the truth of
God, about the curse
of sin that so
infects our lives,
and of His gifts
to help us thrive.
In Romans
twelve, six through eight
God lists His
service gifts so great,
personality
fingerprints,
that He’s given
to each servant
to minister to
all others’ needs,
in this world
that needs good deeds,
to shine a light
or open a door
of love or
peace, and so much more.
These seven
gifts at times overlap
from time to
time as He does clap
to supply His
peoples’ needs
in the lives of
His true seeds.
Prophets are
those who clearly hear
His gentle,
cherrie, voice so clear
to encourage or
instruct
so we won’t His
Song disrupt.
Givers aren't
concerned with things
for they know
that tomorrow brings
more chances for
Him to provide
what He said
He’d give in stride.
Servers are
those who on us wait
to bring us food
on such clean plates
or mop the
floors or clean the grates,
with faith to
win, to cast aside "fate".
Exhorters are
such special friends
who care for us,
and won’t truth bend,
or only say what
we will hear,
but give to us
His Truth so dear.
Business leaders
should always know
of their need to
lead and show
by their deeds,
integrity,
running programs
for His needs.
Teachers with
such passion teach
His truths to
all who they can reach,
to turn from sin
all those who hear,
to do His Word
with hearts of cheer.

Mercy persons
empathize
with much
suffering in our lives,
comforting oft
the souls and minds
of all who in
their path they find.
There is one
more thing to know,
if these special
gifts we'll show.
Business men
won’t so clearly see
the Mercy
person’s heartfelt pleas.
Administrators
simply can’t allow
what they need
for use tomorrow
for Givers’ need
to give away,
tomorrow’s seeds
must be delayed.
These gifts are
so much like our eyes
‘cause we’re all
blind on one side.
Faithful courage
demands we see
His gifts
balanced with humility,
so those who
have the other gifts
can work with us
in different shifts,
as body parts
should always do,
work as one in
Him with clues.
Just as
differing fingertips
have unmatched
swirls and diff'rent rifts
from all others
that He’s made,
no other has
your gifts in trade.
In His way He
has so given
each of His
gifts from His Heaven,
for our daily
use in life
to guide others
thru the strife.
Let me also do
suggest
for four tapes
you should invest
twenty bucks it
takes to send
for tapes taught
by God’s own friend,
Harley Allen,
who clearly taught
these gifts in
order, sequenced lot,
with much
humor, truth so clear,
of these gifts
to clearly hear.
