Gifts of the Spirit

When our Lord walked the earth,
All the world found its worth;
As declared at his birth,
God became our neighbour,
Granting, with his favour,
            Power to speak and heal,
            Grace to know what’s real,
            Wisdom, insight and faith,
            Love and understanding.

Through his life, through his death,
Through each gesture and breath,
Jesus joined faith and deed,
Model for our caring,
Showing and yet sharing

            Power to speak.....

Jesus loves all his friends
And that love never ends;
To his Church gifts he sends
Through the Holy Spirit.
These we still inherit:
            Power to speak.....

Sing and smile and rejoice,
Clap your hands, raise your voice;
For, with unnerving choice,
God, in Christ, has found us
And displays around us
            Power to speak.....
