We have been called out and set apart,
To fulfill the desire of our Father's heart.

For we are heirs through Jesus Christ, God's own son,
So allow His spirit to complete the work that He has begun.

For by the working of God's power and the gift of His grace,
We are allowed to fellowship with Him and seek His face.

For within us lives the hope that this dying world needs to see,
And that hope is Christ alive and living in you and me.

This hope should be seen in our boldness to stand,
And in our being moved with compassion to lend a hand.

For we are called to walk in love and forgiveness,
And be an effective fervent witness.

So it is time that we against the devil take a stand,
And put on God's armor to claim our promise land.

For now is the time to let it be known,
That our Heavenly Father is still on His throne.
