We are chosen by God,
handpicked for His Vine
to serve and worship Him
share in His glory divine.
We have been adopted,
embraced for His pleasure
a child of His mercy . . .
grace without measure
We’re being molded,
to be holy and blameless
into the image of Jesus
till we become flawless.
We are His possession,
He has great plans for us
into His mighty hands
we freely place our trust.
We live daily for Jesus,
to please and satisfy
no matter what we do
the Lord, we gladly gratify.
We are chosen by God,
an heir unto salvation
the Word is our living hope
our eternal foundation!
~~~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 1:4-6
King James Version
“According as he hath chosen us in him
before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without
blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption
of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace,
wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”
