Chosen By God ~

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.”

Hand Molded ~

Hand molded,
each little curve
made with love
so God we can serve.

Formed out of clay,
a vessel to be used
in our hearts . . .
God’s Spirit was fused.

God is the Potter,
Christ is the mold
and His ways . . .
we’re to keep and hold.

Sometimes we crack,
under the pressure
but God will restore
for we’re His treasure.

Hand molded,
grace’s transformation
renewed in His love
by His sanctification!

Isaiah 64:8
King James Version

“But now, O Lord, thou art our father;
we are the clay, and thou our potter;
and we all are the work of thy hand.”
