Let Us Talents and Tongues Employ, WOV #754
Devotion
This Jamaican folk tune has a lively beat to it and is fun to sing. More important, however, is the message. We are to employ our talents and tongues to joyfully reach out to people with the message of the Gospel. And this song is loaded with the good news of the Gospel:
-bread is broken, wine is poured, for you and for all;
-at God’s table Christ unites us, teaches us to live to bless, and calls us to love in word and deed;
-the rhythm of the Christian life is that we are called together, then sent out to tell of God’s love and share God’s bread.
-After all, loaves abound! (Refrain)
Prayer
Generous God, you fill our every need. Empower us to see the needs of others and respond with Christlike love. Amen.
