EMBRACE YOUR CALLING

Joseph had died 
A new king had come 
Yet the Israelites were tired 
And oh so done! 
The head Egyptian in charge 
made a decision 
He ordered all midwives 
To do kill missions 

Embrace your calling 
Be confident in your position 
With an attitude a baditude 
Towards your godly mission 
Let nothing and no one 
Set you apart 
From the promise and purpose 
God's place in your heart 

but some midwives defied 
This horrifying request 
As it went against everything 
That's sacred and blessed 
And because Shiphrah and Puah 
Embraced civil disobediency 
Moses survive to go on 
And give Israel the victory 

Embrace your calling 
Be confident in your position 
With an attitude of baditude 
Towards your godly mission 
Let nothing and no one 
Set you apart 
From the promise and purpose 
God's place in your heart 

Embrace your calling 
Now audacious and cocksure 
Of your predetermination 
And what for you God has in store
Embrace your calling 
By simply staying true 
To the decree and direction 
God's destined for you 
Standing courageous, undaunted 
And bold 
Only to do what 
By the Spirit you've been told 

Embrace your calling 
Be confident in your position 
With an attitude of baditude 
Towards your godly mission 
Let nothing and no one 
Set you apart 
From the promise and purpose 
God's place in your heart 

So don't ever follow the dictates 
Of evil men 
Trust in the Lord God 
He'll give the win

Embrace your calling 
Be confident in your position 
With an attitude of baditude 
Towards your godly mission 
Let nothing and no one 
Set you apart 
From the promise and purpose 
God's place in your heart 

embrace your calling
Now audacious and cocksure 
Of your predetermination 
And what for you God has in store

Embrace your calling 
Be confident in your mission 
With an attitude of baditude 
Towards your godly mission 
let nothing and no one 
Set you apart 
From the promise and purpose 
God's placed in your heart 

Embrace your calling 
By simply staying true 
To the decree and direction 
God has destined for you 

Embrace your calling 
Be confident in your mission 
With an attitude of baditude 
Towards your godly mission 
Let nothing and no one 
Set you apart 
From the promise and purpose 
God's placed in your heart 

Embrace your calling 
Now confident in your position 
With an attitude of baditude. 
Towards your godly mission
Let nothing and no one 
Set you apart 
From the promise and purpose 
God's placed in your heart 

Embrace your calling
