I bless you to
Freely receive
The spiritual Gifts
That God so
Freely gives!
“Now there are varieties
Of Gifts…” (1 Cor. 12:4)
“Gifts.”
The word is “Charis”—“grace,”
As in “Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound.”
In the plural, it’s
“Charismata.”
The same grace that
Saved You
Sanctifies you.
The same grace that
Forgave you
Fills you.
The gifts of the Spirit
Are the “graces” of the Spirit.
You need pay no price
To be equipped with power
From on High.
Gifts are Free,
Child of God,
Or they aren’t gifts
At all.
