[Intro] The Master called His servants, put the treasure in their hand, Gave them each a portion, then departed from the land. One got five, one got two, one got one to keep, The question asked, what do you do with what you reap! [Verse 1] A man went on a journey, called his servants to his chest, Entrusted them with talents, put their faith to the test. To one he gave five, to another he gave two, To another just one, each had work to do. According to their ability, the Master made the call, He didn't give them everything, but He entrusted them all. The one who had five went and put his treasure down, He worked and it doubled, before the Lord came 'round. The one who had two did exactly the same, Turned two into four, bringing honor to his name. They didn't waste the time, didn't bury what they had, They worked with what was given, and the Lord was glad. [Pre-Chorus] What are you doing, with the gifts you've received? Did you do all you could, did you trust and believe? Are you walking by faith, or are you ruled by fear? Will He find you faithful when the King appears? [Chorus] MAKE IT MULTIPLY! LET YOUR LIGHT BURN BRIGHT! Put your gifts to work, stand and fight the good fight! Don't bury what He's given, don't surrender to fear, Be faithful with the treasure till the Master appears! WELL DONE! WELL DONE! HEAR THE MASTER SAY! You've been faithful in the little, share My joy today! It's not about numbers, it's not about fame, It's about the faithful servant, bringing glory to His name! [Verse 2] The third man took his talent, dug a hole in the ground, Buried to him what was trusted, never turned it 'round. No investment, no labor, no fruit for the King, He protected what he had, but produced not a thing. Then the Master came returning, called His servants to account, The first brought ten talents, an increase in the amount! You gave me five Master, look, five more are here! The Master spoke with joy, made His approval clear. Well done, good and faithful servant, you've been faithful in the small, I'll put you over more, come and celebrate it all! The second brought his four, and the Master praised his name, The same reward of faithfulness, though the sums were not the same. The reward wasn't based on who had earned the most, But on faithful stewardship before the Lord of hosts. Five or two, the same approval rang through, For the heart was proven, faithful and true. [Chorus] MAKE IT MULTIPLY! LET YOUR LIGHT BURN BRIGHT! Put your gifts to work, stand and fight the good fight! Don't bury what He's given, don't surrender to fear, Be faithful with the treasure till the Master appears! WELL DONE! WELL DONE! HEAR THE MASTER SAY! You've been faithful in the little, share My joy today! It's not about numbers, it's not about fame, It's about the faithful servant bringing glory to His name! [Bridge] Then came the servant with one talent in his hand, I knew you were a hard man, I was scared to take a stand. So I hid what you gave me, kept it safe beneath the ground. Here is what belongs to you, not a talent lost or found. But the Master answered, you wicked lazy servant! You knew what I expected, yet your actions were a verdict. You could've put the money where it might have earned a gain, But you buried what I gave you, now you face the judgment plain! The talent was taken, given to the one with ten, For the faithful use their gifts, back to work again. But the useless servant faced the darkness and despair, A warning to the heart, that has no fruit to show or bear. [Breakdown] DON'T BURY IT! The truth He's given! DON'T WASTE IT! The life you're living! DON'T FEAR IT! Stand up and serve! BE FAITHFUL! Give Him the glory He deserves! [Verse 3] It's not about money, it's a kingdom principle, The gifts that God entrusts, are never incidental. Your time, strength, and wisdom, put them all to use, Don't make excuses, while the world spreads abuse. Teach the Word, serve your neighbor, let the gospel reach the lost, Remember grace was purchased at a very high cost. We don't earn salvation by the works we've performed, We're saved by grace, then our lives are transformed! So don't confuse the message, let the Scriptures show you, Works are fruit of faith, not just good things to do. The Master gives His servants gifts to steward while we live, And one day to the King, an account we'll give. [Final Chorus] MAKE IT MULTIPLY! LET YOUR LIGHT BURN BRIGHT! Put your gifts to work, stand and fight the good fight! Don't bury what He's given, don't surrender to fear, Be faithful with the treasure till the Master appears! The King returns in glory, let our lives proclaim His fame, Every talent, every moment, used to glorify His name! [Outro] One Master, Different gifts. Every servant gives account. With what He's given, Do something, Is what it's all about. Don't spend your life hiding what God has given you, Don't refuse to use it for His glory true. Be faithful. Be fruitful. Be ready. Well done, good and faithful servant.
