Passage:
6 “For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples,
8 but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers…”
(Deuteronomy 7:6–8 ESV)

Lyrics:
How sweet it is to be loved by a King
How kind it is to be called by Majesty
How wonderful to fully know that I am Yours
How can it be I am favored in Your eyes
How can You see I'm a child of Your delight
How beautiful to always know that I am Yours
Oh I am Yours
Oh I am chosen I am Yours
Oh I am chosen I am Yours
You call me out to be Your hands and feet
For here and now a light for all to see
I'll show Your love and tell the world
That they are Yours
Oh they are Yours
Oh we are chosen we are Yours
Oh we are chosen we are Yours
Adorned in robes of royalty
The Bride of Christ can stand and sing
We're forever chosen
We're forever chosen
Hear the sound of people free
Sing the song of the redeemed
We're forever chosen
We're forever chosen
Hallelujah we are chosen we are Yours
Hallelujah we are chosen we are Yours
We're forever chosen
We're forever chosen
We're forever chosen
We're forever chosen
Prayer:
Preserve your work, Lord. Guard the gift you have given even to those who pulled back. For I knew I was not worthy to be called your servant, but by your grace I am what I am… Amen.
—Ambrose of Milan
