Her Gift Of Charity (R-E) 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 still 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
