Text Based On 1 Peter Chapter 2
That ye should shew forth the praises
of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light:
A Chosen Generation
You’re a chosen generation,
Royal priesthood for His throne;
You’re a blest and holy nation;
You’re a people for His own.
So you may declare His praises,
Do what’s pleasing in His sight,
He has called you out of darkness,
To His glorious, marvellous light.
Once you were not called a people,
In a world that’s gone astray;
Now you’ve heeded His great calling,
Showing forth His will and way.
You had not received the mercy,
Of Eternal God above;
Now you are the blest receivers,
Of His mercy and his love.
You’re a chosen generation,
Royal priesthood for His throne;
You’re a blest and holy nation;
You’re a people for His own.
So you may declare His praises,
Do what’s pleasing in His sight,
He has called you out of darkness,
To His glorious, marvellous light.
