What He Purposed For Me

Now, once I was a sinner.

I lived to please myself.

My thoughts of what I wanted

I put not on a shelf.

I did what gave me pleasure.

I did just what I liked.

I did what brought enjoyment.

Myself took not a hike.

But Jesus called me to Him

To leave my sin behind,

To find my life now in Him,

No longer to be blind.

So I now follow Jesus

In doing what He says.

My life committed to Him

To go where I am led.

My heart surrendered to Him.

My will to do His will.

I want to always please Him.

His Spirit in me fills.

For now I am His servant.

I’m called of God to be

Just what He purposed for me

When Jesus set me free.

So I do witness for Him.

I share the gospel truth.

My heart, it so adores Him.

I knew Him from my youth.

I pray that others know Him

And die with Him to sin,

That they will follow Jesus,

Their hearts now cleansed within.
