Author: J. Conder (1789-1855) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #107 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Lord, I did not choose you
for that could never be;
my heart would still refuse you
had you not chosen me:
you took the sin that stained me,
you cleansed me, made me new,
for you, Lord, had ordained me
that I should live in you.
2 Unless your grace had called me
and taught my opening mind,
the world would have enthralled me,
to heavenly glories blind:
my heart knows none above you;
for you I long, I thirst,
and know that, if I love you,
Lord, you have loved me first. Topics: God, Saviour Growing, Teaching, Serving; The Election of God's People Abraham; Epiphany 2, Revelation The First Disciples; Christ the Friend of Sinners Scripture: John 15:16 Languages: English Tune Title: OFFERTORIUM
