1PETER – A Chosen People by Bro H

Verse 1 Peter, an apostle, to the strangers scattered wide Through Pontus and Galatia, where the nations now abide Elect by foreknowledge, sanctified to obey Sprinkled by His blood, called to walk in His way Blessed be the Father, who by mercy gave us birth To a living hope through Christ raised from the earth An inheritance kept, undefiled and sure Reserved in the heavens, everlasting and pure Verse 2 Though now for a season we are tested in the fire Faith more precious than gold, proven and refined higher Whom we have not seen, yet we love and believe Rejoicing in hope that we soon shall receive Prophets searched and wondered of the grace to be revealed Spoke of Christ’s suffering and the glory concealed Now the Word is preached, what the angels long to see The promise fulfilled for the scattered to be free Chorus We are a chosen generation A royal priesthood, a holy nation Once not a people, now called by His name Strangers and pilgrims – restored and reclaimed Called out of darkness into His light Holding fast through the day and the night Set apart, walking in His way A chosen people – called to obey Verse 3 Gird up your mind now, be sober and stand Set your hope fully on what’s coming by His hand As obedient children, not the former ways Be holy as He is, in all of your days Not redeemed with silver, not with gold that fades But the blood of the Lamb, the price that was paid Foreknown before time, yet revealed in these days Through Him we believe, and we walk in His ways Verse 4 You are living stones built into His house A holy priesthood, offering truth from your mouth That you should declare all His works and His grace Who called you from darkness to stand in His place Abstain from the flesh that wages war within Live upright among them, not returning to sin Let your works be seen though they speak you as wrong That they may behold what to Him does belong Bridge All flesh is like grass, and its glory will fade But the Word of the Lord forever remains Born not of corruption, but living and true This is the Word that was preached unto you Chorus We are a chosen generation A royal priesthood, a holy nation Once not a people, now called by His name Strangers and pilgrims, restored and reclaimed
