ONLY ONE TALENT

INTRO

VERSE 1
Oh Lord I know I have only one talent - only one talent
But I don’t wanna despise my talent - only one talent
I know someone who has two talents - only one talent
And someone else who has five talents - only one talent
And so my Lord I feel like hiding my gifts
Hiding my gifts
When I'm in the midst of gifted people
And so my Lord I feel like hiding my gifts
Hiding myself
When I'm in the midst of gifted people

CHORUS
Only one talent - Only one talent
Others have more - Only one talent
Many more talents - Only one talent
I need to use what I have
If I wanna hear him say well done - Only one talent
Good and faithful servant - Only one talent
Cos If I give to you one talent
You will be judged for the talent

VERSE 2
Oh Lord I have so many fears in me
I’m afraid people will laugh at me
I don't wanna be embarrassed yeah
So that is why, I hid myself
Oh oh Lord am I falling short
Am I walking in fear?
Or do I have a spirit of fear
Oh oh Lord am I falling short
Am I walking in fear?
Or do I have a spirit of fear

VERSE 3
Oh Lord, there’s the issue of laziness too
I feel tired all the time, I don’t like working hard
I don’t like difficult things, I like to take my time
I like sleeping and eating, I don’t wanna be bothered
And I am scared that you’re gonna say to me
Thou slothful servant, oh no no slothful servant
I don’t wanna hear those words
I wanna use my gifts
I wanna be up and about, bearing much fruit
Using my talent, working for you

BRIDGE
I heard you say the other day
If I gave you ten talents
Then I will judge you for ten talents
O God, I’m so scared
About the talents you put in me
When you return to account with me
Please help me, help me
Lord help me, help me
Oh Lord I want to hear you say
Oh Well done, well done
Good and faithful servant
