Lyrics
Some folk are good at some things
And some folk are not
I know the best thing to do
Is use the things I've got, so
Chorus:
Lord, whatever I do
I wanna use my gift for You
Whether singing or sewing, reading or writing
Surfing or swimming, farming or fishing
Use my gift for You
And if I rode a horse well
I'd ride him all day long
But maybe I could whistle
So I'll whistle my song, but
(Repeat Chorus)
But if I hit home runs
I'd hit 'em strong for You
But maybe I'm a carpenter
Well I'll nail those boards for You, so
(Repeat Chorus)
