Lyrics

words and music by Rob Biagi ©2003 Rob Biagi Music (BMI)

God does not make mistakes – He did good when he made you
Yeah – yeah. He made you good.
So you better ask yourself – what am I supposed to be
With the one and only life God gave me?

Some of us can sing. Some of us can dance.
All of us can love when we get the chance!

Everyone has a gift inside them
Everyone has somethin’
You use yours; I’ll use mine
Jesus will be glorified as we
Open up our hearts to sing His praise…yeah…

Everybody messes up. We forget to include You
Yes we do. We are busy!
But when we finally make it through
We look back and we see You guided us through everything, You showed us the way

Some of us can sing
Some of us can dance
All of us can love; we’re gonna get the chance right now!

Everyone has a gift inside them
Everyone has somethin’
You use yours; I’ll use mine
Jesus will be glorified as we
Open up our hearts to praise…yeah…

God put something deep in your heart – that’s right
He didn’t skip you; He didn’t forget about you
So come alive! Learn to fly! Yeah…

"Everyone Has a Gift" is a jazzy-pop "listening song." It is a celebration that God gives gifts to his people as he sees fit. It also challenges the listener to decide what to do with the life that God gave them.

MUSICAL STYLE/SOUND: Jazzy pop, like Al Jarreau ['70s-'80s jazz-pop vocalist]. Funky drums and bass, with groovin' clean guitar and synth-piano.

IF YOU’RE TEACHING
- God the Creator
- Worship
- Christian living (forgetting God, then remembering him)
- God gives gifts, talents, abilities, and we are to "give them back" by using them for his glory

KEY LYRIC: "Everyone has a gift inside them. Everyone has somethin’. You use yours; I’ll use mine. Jesus will be glorified as we open up our hearts to sing His praise…"

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: God used the "fade out" of this song to "speak" to Rob's old neighbor, Alba. She was struck by the fact that God didn't "skip" her when he was distributing "gifts" to his people. And that she, in fact, could respond to God's invitation to be reconciled to him through the finished work of Christ on the cross.
