I HAVE CHOSEN YOU AND NOT CAST YOU AWAY

How easily we misunderstand the LORD;

Sometimes, we feel cast away by God!

We feel discouraged and we pine away,

We need to check what God has to say!

 

“I have chosen you,” so God said to His people,

Those words are precious to all who are crippled!

When God has chosen, He will never cast away,

He is our Redeemer God and He is here to stay!

 

“And have not cast you away!” Let us be assured!

God has chosen us to be His; We are treasured!

How we must take time to dwell on what God has said,

That He has chosen us! We do not need to be afraid!

 

If God can choose Jacob, though he was steeped in sin,

He can surely wash and cleanse us from deep within!

The thought that He has “chosen us” can give us strength;

His loving commitment cannot be measured in length!
