ONE BOLD SOUL

often in the grand scheme of life 
God will use the least 
to achieve His providential purposes 
to give His children relief 

God doesn't rely on those 
who think they know it all 
He'll utilize the most unlikely 
when to a mission they've been called 

the majority will become the minority 
until they comprehend 
God doesn't regard one's station 
He regards their heart within 

God doesn't rely on those 
who think they know it all 
He'll utilize the most unlikely 
when to a mission they've been called 

one bold soul was Jeremiah 
the prophet with the big heart 
his mission to tell the people 
don't forget their covenant with God 
one bold soul was Moses 
the Egyptian raised Hebrew 
an instrument God used 
to forge freedom for the Jews 

In the providential purposes 
of God's master plans 
He will call on anyone 
to take up His stance 

God doesn't rely on those 
who think they know it all
He'll utilize the most unlikely 
when to a mission they've been called

one bold soul was 
the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King 
his purpose to pull down the walls of segregation 
So freedom could ring 
he put his life on the line 
In the fight for equality 
he spoke the unadulterated gospel 
with courage and bravery 

God doesn't rely on those 
who think they know it all
He'll utilize the most unlikely 
when to a mission they've been called 

So many bold souls 
full of humanity 
Individuals saturated
with a godly propensity

God doesn't rely on those 
who think they know it all 
He'll utilize the most unlikely 
when to His mission they've been called
