Lyrics and Longings

Called to the kingdom for a time like this
Chosen and precious to you, Lord.
Here in this moment,
Here in this place,
We stand in answer to your call
For a time like this

Before you formed us in the womb you knew
Your chosen purpose for our days:
To be the prophets,
To speak your Word,
To help the nations know your plan
To make all things new

And in the dark days you said, "Do not fear,
I am beginning, I am end"
You stood beside us,
Your promise sure.
You held us in the grip of grace
And dried every tear

Why have you called us is a mystery;
Can any good thing come from us?
Yet we are faithful
And trust in you.
We pledge to serve your Kingdom's cause:
To change history.
