Chosen

1
Worldly affairs encumbered me; till the Lord said, "Come, follow Me!"
I was exhausted, faltering; still He called and would not leave me be;
At once, when I responded: "Yes!", He shined His glad'ning ray!
Glory, rest, shouts of praise fill all my days as I follow on His way.
2
Though in this world a way exists
Filled with crowds with greatness obsessed;
My heart already is possessed, let those who would take it try their best;
Lord, I've been sanctified by Thee, For God alone I'm meant,
My all is in Your sovereign hand, all for the new way to be spent.
3
No man can serve two masters, from God and the world seek reward,
Whether 'tis spent or whether reserved, ointment can but once be outpoured;
Lord, You’re my only one true love, I'd ne'er repent nor swerve.
Lord, You alone are worthy of all my life and all my love.
  Upon this altar of consecration, supply the flame; refine me, I pray;
Lord, You chose me, 'twas mercy and grace; Gladly I choose Thee, to repay.
The days of this life don't seem that special, but the earth to heaven they join;
In Your smile's delight, I fix my sight, running towards th' eternal crown.

"Lord, You chose me, ’twas mercy and grace; Gladly I choose Thee, to repay.

The days of this life don’t seem that special, but the earth to heaven they join;

In Your smile’s delight, I fix my sight, running towards th’ eternal crown."

Lord, I have nothing to boast. It's Your mercy and grace that You chose me. Thank You, Lord Jesus.

Earlier today we had a fellowship concerning church history and it made me treasure and appreciate the practice of the God-ordained way even more. We are blessed to be in this age; wherein there is no longer only one man speaking in our church life nor are there just a few people who know how to preach the gospel or shepherd the saints. The brothers who have gone before us have paid a great price for us to recover these practices today. May we not become a factor for it to be lost again. So as I was listening, in my spirit I was singing this line: "My all is in Your sovereign hand, all for the new way to be spent."

I fell in love with melody and to the lyrics. I've been hearing the first word but not the whole song. And I've heard the brother's practicing the hymn I sit and listened the lyrics do pierced through the heart. Lord, You're my only One true love.
