You chose me--what an awesome thought,
To be called Your elect-one of Your chosen few.
Thank You my God, for loving me so, and sanctifying
Me through Your spirit--so I may be obedient to Christ.

My Father, I praise You and Your great mercy
You alone have given me such hope for a new life.
Raising Your Son Jesus from the dead--now in heaven with You
So that my faith in Him assures me of Your power O my God.

I am alive--newly born through Your Son Jesus Christ...
I now can inherit a place beside You Awesome God
My place I'm assured will not perish, spoil, or fade
You will keep it forever for me--Your chosen child.

My Lord as I remain here in flesh I rejoice each day...
Though my grief, trials and sufferings are great
I rest assured they come to build and strengthen my faith...
Greater than all the gold in the world it will not end...

Oh Mighty God, I take each trial and suffering in my life,
knowing that the outcome of each and every one
can serve to either honor and glorify You, or to
Disappoint and dishonor You--Which will I do?

I know my faithful God I love You and Believe Jesus is my Lord
Though I've seen Him not, I feel His presence all around me...
I am filled with an all consuming joy through Him and His love...
As I make the choice, honor God, water my faith, reach my goal.--
The salvation of my Soul....
