Lyrics
I was the least to support
The first to voice concern
The last to understand anything of her good turn
Her biggest stumbling block
From all I could not discern
Her doing God's work
Through the gift of charity
I was insensitive when
She needed my compassion the most
I was a million miles away when she wanted me in close
And I never caught the vision
As she stood guard at the post
To do what she could
With her gift
Of charity
And for all the wrong reasons
From all the wrong signs
With all the right words
Said at all the wrong times
I was off fighting windmills while she was out on the front
As she moved with her kindness
To meet them
Who stood in want
And I calculated the cost
Before she was even done
Never to glimpse
Her gift of charity
And in spite of my ignorance
To her purpose in play
In spite of the interferences along the way
She managed to get the Lord's work
Done anyway
With sincere care
And her gift of charity
And after it's all done
And as it stares back at me
I perceive more clearly now
What it was that she could see
The good that could be done
To help those in need
With a caring heart
To do whatever I can
As with her
Special gift of charity
To do what I can
With sincere care
And a gift of charity
The gift of charity
