Analysis of Gifts from Grace
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Through the grace given to me,
I say to all amongst you;
Measure faith you cannot see,
Sober judgment to pursue.
One body has many parts,
Not having the same function;
But of goals each one imparts,
Unify to an unction.
We are one body in Christ,
Members one of another;
Compliments each and enticed,
Considered as a brother.
The gifts that differ by grace,
To your faith in proportion;
But is able to embrace,
By each one in apportion.
In our serving are taught,
Ministering in preaching;
For the truth that we have sought,
That we will be out-reaching,
The one who has exhorted,
As well as who contributes;
Always will be supported,
For savoring the first fruits.
