God's Chosen Vessel

God preordained  vessels for His design
before time and eternity so long ago
that He would use to suit His purpose
to do His will particularly in close align

These vessels would be earth bound people
one’s chosen in God’s sovereign plan
to carry out His words upon the earth
across the fullness of His historical span

They would walk in varieties of service
shining God’s light to all they meet
seeking to minister divine mercy and love
symbolically humbly washing each one’s feet

Spreading forth God’s truth to all the race
knowing God’s hand firmly set upon us
marked with godly hearts filled with grace
pray that each one would be a vessel
