His Perfect Choice
His Perfect Choice

Once in the world we wandered all, Enslaved by sin, under usurpation; But He chose, redeemed us From bondage, fall, Revealed to us His divine intention. Now that we see His heart’s desire, We willingly give our life entire. |
| O Lord, we now lay all aside: Self-choice, own cares, and all self-love; O Christ, the meaning of our life, Our goal and aim, there’s none beside; Toward the good land, we now are poised To take, possess, Your perfect choice. |

As priestly army we are formed; To fight for Him, journey with Him, able; Whether trouble rise up or raging storm, He’ll care for us; we’re His numbered people. Waters of death we fain would pass; Defeat the foes: they are food for us! |

Unlike the two and one-half tribes Which settled on the land “good for cattle”; Our own ease and comfort can never bribe; God’s choice in sight, we will enter in full! For east of Jordan’s not our rest, We’ll cross, not settling for second-best. |

Stretch forward! Christ we now lay hold. Called upward to pursue goal eternal; When we take His cross and be in His mold, His Body’s built; Christ is all and in all. We press on to prepare His Bride; He chose us to be His heart’s delight. |
