Song Lyrics
CHOSEN
Do you see the people walk in darkness
Dwell in the land of the shadow of death?
All the pain and suffering all around us
Hurting, crushing, you can’t catch your breath
Do you see the world lying in shambles?
Problems abounding, no answer in sight
From the depths of despair hope arises
The call is made to come into the light
Chorus:
For you are a chosen generation
Chosen by God to depart from the night
A royal priesthood, a holy nation
Chosen by God to come into the light
Do you see God’s mercy given to us?
His own special people saved by His might
You’ve obtained mercy, proclaim all His praises
You are God’s people, so walk in the light
So even though it’s such an uphill struggle
Remember Christ Jesus has won the fight
Upon us, in the midst of life’s great battle
A great light has shone, let’s walk in the light
Chorus:
For you are a chosen generation
Chosen by God to depart from the night
A royal priesthood, a holy nation
Chosen by God to come into the light
Inspiration: Isaiah 9:2, 1 Peter 2:9-10
