I’m God’s own chosen child of mercy! What love and grace!
Chosen by the Father’s
mercy,
Set apart to serve
His Son,
Sanctified by His
own Spirit—
Praise the Holy
Three in One!
Saved by
resurrection power,
Shielded in His
faithful love;
Now, no enemy can
tarnish
My inheritance
above!
Chorus:
I’m born again!
I’m God’s own
chosen child of mercy!
Born again! What
love and grace!
Father, keep me
walking worthy
Till I look upon
Your face.
Led by wisdom into
suff’ring,
Grieved by many
trials below,
Yet rejoicing in
His purpose:
That my faith as
gold may glow.
Granted faith for
overcoming,
Filled with love
for Christ unseen;
Even angels cannot
fathom
What salvation God
will bring!
Fixed upon this
hope completely,
As obedient
children fear;
For the Holy One
who called you
Purchased you with
blood so dear.
Born anew from
seed eternal,
By His
lovingkindness spurred,
Lay aside all
tasteless yearnings—
Crave the true and
living Word!
Built on Christ,
the sure foundation,
We are free from
guilt and shame;
He is fitting us
together
As a house to
praise His name!
We are chosen as
God’s people,
Called from
darkness into light.
O what mercy now
entreats us
To proclaim His
glories bright!
