In Envy Often We Look Up

In envy often we look up
At those with talents three,
And fret, “If only God would give
So many skills to me.”

“I’d be the greatest preacher
This world has ever known,
And with my voice I’d captivate
The world in lilting song.”

“I’d pen the words of victory
The hearts of men to sway,
If only God would give to me
Three talents such as they.”

Yet, God with very sorrowed heart
Looks down and cries aloud,
“But what about the talent one,
You have squandered with the crowd?”

God does not judge by what you have
Three talents, two, or one.
But how you’ve used the one you have
To glorify His Son.
