Different Gifts (AOV 2/13)

This is a song by Maggie Russell of Mass of Freedom fame based on 1 Cor 12:4ff. The snippet at AOV gives you an idea of the song. The verses are listed as optional and the chorus could stand on its own, especially as a children’s song. It would be an interesting choice for the procession of the gifts.

It can be purchased for download at As One Voice.

Refrain

Diff’rent gifts, yet we are one, one in Christ’s body.

Each of us uniquely made; diff’rent, yet the same.

Celebrate our diff’rences, working together;

Needing each one’s special gifts to make the body whole.

Verse 1

Come and celebrate the many diff’rent colours:

Each a glimpse of a loving gen’rous God.

Precious are the gifts we bring to one another:

Each a gift of love.

Refrain

Verse 2

Come and wonder at the shades of God’s creation:

All a part of the Truth that sets us free.

In diversity we celebrate our story:

Called to unity.

Refrain
