CHOSEN – Chosen by Bro H

Verse 1 Before the stars were hung in heaven Before the kingdoms rose and fell The Father knew the end from beginning And called a people for Himself Through Seth and Noah, Shem and Abram The covenant line was carried on Through Isaac's seed and Jacob's children The chosen story had begun Chorus Chosen by promise, chosen by oath Not for our glory, not for our boast Called to be witnesses, called to be light To carry His truth through the darkest night Chosen to serve Him, chosen to stand A kingdom and people held in His hand Though scattered and sown, yet remembered still The God of our fathers fulfills His will Verse 2 At Sinai's mountain fire descended The covenant nation heard His voice A kingdom called above the peoples A holy nation by His choice Not for their greatness or their numbers Not for a righteousness their own But by the oath to Abraham's children The seed through whom His light was shown Chorus Chosen by promise, chosen by oath Not for our glory, not for our boast Called to be witnesses, called to be light To carry His truth through the darkest night Chosen to serve Him, chosen to stand A kingdom and people held in His hand Though scattered and sown, yet remembered still The God of our fathers fulfills His will Verse 3 The kingdom split in days of sorrow House against house beneath the sun Jeroboam's calves led Israel wandering Far from the ways of the Holy One The prophets cried through tears and warning Yet still the people turned away Assyria came, the tribes were scattered And carried to a distant place Verse 4 Through lands of Medes and beyond the rivers Through Scythian plains and Sacae roads Among the Celts and Cymry peoples The scattered seed of Jacob flowed Lo-Ammi written on their forehead A people who forgot their name Yet in the isles and western coastlands The ancient promises remained Chorus Chosen by promise, chosen by oath Not for our glory, not for our boast Called to be witnesses, called to be light To carry His truth through the darkest night Chosen to serve Him, chosen to stand A kingdom and people held in His hand Though scattered and sown, yet remembered still The God of our fathers fulfills His will Verse 5 Then came the Shepherd promised long ago The Son of David, Prince of Peace "I came for Israel's lost sheep only" To call the scattered flock to Me One flock beneath one faithful Shepherd One covenant sealed by holy blood The law upon the heart now written The sons of God restored in love Verse 6 Paul asked, "Has God cast off His people?" And answered, "No, His Word stands true" The natural branches shall be gathered The promises He made endure From Celtic shores to Saxon kingdoms Through Germanic lands and northern seas The Shepherd's voice was heard among them And Christendom bore witness to these Final Chorus Chosen by promise, chosen by oath Not for our glory, not for our boast Called to be witnesses, called to be light To carry His truth through the darkest night Chosen to serve Him, chosen to stand A kingdom and people held in His hand Though scattered and sown, yet remembered still The God of our fathers fulfills His will One flock and one Shepherd, one kingdom restored One covenant people beneath Jesus Christ our Lord The promises spoken now shine as the sun What God swore to the fathers shall surely be done Outro Twelve gates stand in New Jerusalem Twelve tribes chosen by the King A light to the nations, a witness to all His Chosen… Still answer the call
