A King gave 3 servants a coin one day
And said “Lets see what you earn while I’m away”
Then one day the King finally returned
He called for his servants to see what they earned.....
The first servant said, "From the one coin you gave me,
I have earned 10 more you can see"
The King said, “Well done, you’re profit is so large”
“So 10 cities of mine you will now be in charge”
The second servant earned 5 coins from the one
And the King was pleased with what he had done
"What you have made is definitely fine
I'll leave you in charge of 5 cities of mine"
Don’t be so shy
Just give it a try
And give it all you've got
God gives ability
To you and me
So don’t be scared to try
The third servant was weak and very afraid
He had hidden the gold coin while the King was away
He said “Sir, I was scared and afraid its true,
I did nothing with the coin so I could return it to you”
The King was mad and without any pity
He said "I wont leave him in charge of a single city
Im taking the coin from the weakest of the men
And I'll give it to the servant who had made ten"
Don’t be so shy
Just give it a try
And give it all you've got
God gives ability
To you and me
So don’t be scared to try
Don’t be so shy
Just give it a try
And give it all you've got
God gives ability
To you and me
So don’t be scared to try
The others who saw didn’t think it was fair
But the King knew best, and he didn't care
"I will give those who try all they need
But those who do nothing will get nothing from me
Don’t be so shy
Just give it a try
And give it all you've got
God gives ability
To you and me
So don’t be scared to try
Don’t be so shy
Just give it a try
And give it all you've got
God gives ability
To you and me
So don’t be scared to try
Don’t be so shy
Won't you just give it a try
Don’t be so shy
Won't you just give it a try
Don’t be so shy
Won't you just give it a try
We're gonna give it
We're gonna give it
A try
