God’s Great Gifts

By Rev. Dean Beaty 9/23/09

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,

and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no

variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (KJV)

In God’s Word the story is told.

When Christ was born they brought Him gold.

For most today the same is true.

Great gifts are given, all thanks to You.

Minds to think and eyes to see,

A voice to speak to men of Thee.

But how it must make God’s Heart ache,

When men use these His law to break.

Their eyes to view pornography.

Their voice to speak profanity.

Hands to hurt and rob and kill.

Minds to use for their own will.

These gifts were given to enhance.

But now they claim it was by chance.

They don’t believe these were from God.

So if misused does this seem odd?

When men took God out of the schools,

Eventually they turned out fools.

What a shame God’s gifts we waste,

When evilution is embraced.

What are you doing with what God gave?

Will it last beyond the grave?

The gifts you’re given, give back to God,

And help to spread His name abroad.
