Lyrics

READY TO USE THE GIFTS I’VE BEEN GIVEN
(Greg Tamblyn, Jana Stanfield)

Lately I’ve been noticing how much I’ve been blessed
With people to love, peace of mind, and happiness
It makes me want to pass along the love I’ve received
As a way of giving thanks for what’s been given to me

Chorus:
I’ve got a strong heart and I’m ready
I’ve got a strong love and I’m ready
I’m ready to use the gifts I’ve been given
To make this world a better place to live in
Ready to use the gifts I’ve been given
To make this world a better place to live in

I used to have a need for more that bordered on greed
Till I looked around and found that I had all I need
I thought I had to have it all before I could share
Till I realized what’s mine to give has always been there

Repeat Chorus

Well I may not make a difference that the whole world can see
But if I can show more kindness that’s what matters to me

I’m changing on the outside finding gray in my hair
But the difference on the inside is that I don’t care
I’m losing my desire to be what I’m not
And I have what I want ‘cause I want what I’ve got

Repeat Chorus
