Verse 1
O God of Grace, mercy so great
In my unworthy state You come and choose me
I try to hide – what’s unclean inside
In the midst of my pride – Your voice comes to me
Chorus 1
“I have taken you and called to you – to be a servant to Me
I have chosen you, not rejected you – for you are precious to Me
Even though you find that you have nothing inside
Your help and your strength is from Me
You leave your pride, that I be glorified
You’ll know that I am the One who redeems.”
Verse 2
And I seem to see the way that You lead
Is higher than anything I’ll ever reach
You could easily find those stronger than I
How can it be that still You choose me – And You say:
Chorus 2
”I have taken you, and called to you – to be a servant to Me
I have chosen you, not rejected you – for you are precious to Me
So don’t be afraid, nor your heart be dismayed
Your help and your strength is from Me
I will lift you high and you will surely find
That I Am the One who redeems”
The Holy One, my Redeemer and Savior I see!
O Holy One! My Redeemer and Savior I see!
Isaiah 41:9-14; Ephesians 1:7, 18, 19
