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.

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.

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.

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.

it is so wonderful to know our dear FATHER, chose us even before we were born. this hymn really tells us plainly although we have a relationship with our LORD, does not mean we will have a smooth life, without problems and troubles. but JESUS told us in this world you will have troubles, fear not , I have overcome the world. Amen we just need to walk in obedience, and trust the ONE who knows better than we, to follow the ONE who sees and knows, what is good for us.
