Called out of the darkness,
into His light marvelous
called into a new life . . .
holy and wondrous.

Called to be a witness,
wherever we might go
called to follow whenever
the Holy Spirit shows.

Called out of the world,
but, in it all the same
called to flee wickedness
for the sake of His name.

Called to not be fearful,
nor to be afraid
called to be peculiar
so not to be dismayed.

Chosen by God Himself,
to be for Him ~ His light . . .
chosen to put on His armor
and fight the faithful fight!

1 Peter 2:9

But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar people; that ye should
shew forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light;
