“I Will Use Well” (Matthew 25:29)
“To those who use well what they are given even more will be given, and they will have an abundance.” Matthew 25:29 2005/06 Verse of the Year
Most of us want to plan our way into abundance — but Jesus calls us to something simpler (and harder): use well what we’ve already been given.
Jesus doesn’t promise abundance to the best forecasters — He promises it to faithful caretakers:
The future isn’t mine to control — only today is mine to steward.
So, I pray the prayer of this song – inviting you to join me.

I Will Use Well | Lyrics
Unto those who use well what they are given
More is placed within their care
Unto those who use well what they are given
An abundance will be theirs
It is my prayer my heart’s intention
To be faithful and to serve the Master well
So I pledge my full attention
To all that I’ve been given I will well
To the abundance I’ve been given, I will use well
To the few things I’ve been given – I will use them well
