Day 39_The Calling

 

For His purpose for His pleasure

We were planned to be God’s treasure

To glorify his holy name

And to declare his matchless fame

 

For this purpose we were born

For His family we are formed

Part of a people  of new birth

To be His body on this earth

 

Created to become like Christ

Like a pearl of matchless price

That by adversity is formed

So to His likeness we’re conformed

 

We were shaped  by God to  serve

Laying down with no reserve

Our very life and all our praise

Ministers of the ancient of days

 

For this mission we were made

To go and tell and teach and aid

The nations to sit at God’s feet

Until the mission is  complete!

 

To love God with heart, mind and soul

And to love our neighbors is our goal

To tell  the world that Christ is Lord

And he is worthy to be adored!

 

For this purpose and the end

Everything we are depends

Upon  our great creator’s call

He is to be our all in all.
