LYRICS
Varieties of gifts come from the same Spirit;
Varieties of services come from the same Lord;
And varieties of activities come from the very same God,
Who made us to bring pleasure,
And filled us with a treasure,
So we can live full measure
For the common good.
REFRAIN
We are made one body now with many different members,
And each of us is needed by all the rest.
So, come and give your all,
Yes, come and share your best
For the common good, for the common good,
For the common good.
Someone here has the gift to be a great teacher;
And someone has the gift to tell others of God's love;
And there's someone here with the gift to heal, waiting for someone in need.
We each can bring God pleasure,
By opening our treasure, and sharing our full measure
For the common good.
REFRAIN:
We are made one body now with many different members,
And each of us is needed by all the rest.
We are made one body now with many different members,
And each of us is needed by all the rest.
So, come and give your all,
Yes, come and share your best
For the common good, for the common good,
For the common good.
