Only One Talent

INTRO

Oh Lord I know I have only one talent - only one talent

But I don’t wanna despise my talent - only one talent

I know someone who has two talents - only one talent

And someone else who has five talents - only one talent

And so my Lord I feel like hiding my gifts

Hiding my gifts

When I’m in the midst of gifted people

And so my Lord I feel like hiding my gifts

Hiding myself

CHORUS

Only one talent - Only one talent

Others have more - Only one talent

Many more talents - Only one talent

I need to use what I have

If I wanna hear him say well done - Only one talent

Good and faithful servant - Only one talent

Cos If I give to you one talent

INTERLUDE

Oh Lord I have so many fears in me

I’m afraid people will laugh at me

I don’t wanna be embarrassed yeah

So that is why, I hid myself

Oh oh Lord am I falling short

Am I walking in fear?

Or do I have a spirit of fear

Oh oh Lord am I falling short

Am I walking in fear?

Or do I have a spirit of fear

CHORUS

Only one talent - Only one talent

Others have more - Only one talent

Many more talents - Only one talent

I need to use what I have

If I wanna hear him say well done - Only one talent

Good and faithful servant - Only one talent

Cos If I give to you one talent

You will be judged for the talent

Oh Lord, there’s the issue of laziness too

I feel tired all the time, I don’t like working hard

I don’t like difficult things, I like to take my time

I like sleeping and eating, I don’t wanna be bothered

And I am scared that you’re gonna say to me

Thou slothful servant, oh no no slothful servant

I don’t wanna hear those words

I wanna use my gifts

I wanna be up and about, bearing much fruit

Only one talent - Only one talent

Others have more - Only one talent

Many more talents - Only one talent

I need to use what I have

If I wanna hear him say well done - Only one talent

INTERLUDE

I heard you say the other day

INTERLUDE

O God, I’m so scared

INTERLUDE

Only one talent - Only one talent
