A Chosen Generation
Words and music: Ross Jutsum
Text based on I Peter 2:9-10
1. You're a chosen generation,
royal priesthood for His throne;
You're a blessed 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, marv'llous light.
2. 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 blessed receivers
of His mercy and his love.
3. You're a chosen generation,
royal priesthood for His throne;
You're a blessed 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, marv'llous light.
