Chosen by God

1
I was chosen by God long before
The foundations of earth He did form.
It was by God's foreknowledge so vast
That one day He would call me at last.
  I am chosen by God,
And although I may feel that I'm flawed,
It's His mercy I see,
That by God's grace He ever chose me.
2
He chose me for the purpose He planned,
To express Him, that's why He made man,
And to represent God as a king,
One day ruling with Him o'er all things.
3
Although chosen by God we have been,
We can still have the struggles within.
For the troubles without cause us pain,
Yet through "all things" our God we will gain.
4
Just like Jacob of old we can be
One to bless others thus, Lord, with Thee.
Then we'll worship our God just like him
For His shepherding work done within.
