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.
