What hast thou In thine Hand?

“Lord, I have no gifts or talents,
Nothing that I can command.”
“Look and see, dear one, and tell me
What is that within your hand ?”

“When the widow poured the oil out,
It increased and multiplied,
And five loaves and two small fishes
Fed crowds on the mountainside.

“Surely you must have one talent,
Do not bury it in sand,
Keep it for the kingdom glory,
Use what you have in your hand.

“What you give will keep on growing,
And, child, try to understand God
will bless you with the gifted, If
you use what is at hand.”
