Chosen Vessel
Jesus said "You did not chose Me, but I chose you
And appointed you to go and bear fruit that will last."
When I heeded His call, I found His Word is true
He took over my heart and to follow Him I must.
The journey was hard, sometimes I would stumble.
But His Spirit within me always carried me on.
In Christ I was the vessel in which He was able
To do what He planned, yes I belonged to the Son!
The devil always pointed out I was not worthy,
That I was flawed and had so many sins.
But God held me up with His loving Mercy
And in all of my battles, the LORD always wins!
I cannot quit nor go back, this trip is just one way,
I've become a servant, a slave of Christ Jesus !
I know whatever comes, whatever people may say -
I'm His treasured possession, His child so precious!
