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
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 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
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
INTERLUDE
OH Lord, help my unbelief
Help me Lord to be faithful with one talent
With the one talent that you’ve given me
Help me Lord to be faithful with the one talent you’ve given me
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
