Daniel James: Music

Chosen One

(Daniel James)
November 1, 2005
Daniel James Martinusen
Even while we were yet sinners, Christ loved us and died for us.
“…for He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” Ephesians. 1:4
“See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands…” Isaiah 49:16
What a great and awesome thing, to be chosen by God before the creation of the world! And what is more, He has engraved us on the palms of His hands! That tells me we are very special to Him, that He wants us in His presence at all times. The enemy of our souls wants us to believe that because of our sins, God has rejected us and that we may as well give up trying to please him. Not true! That is just another one of the devil’s lies. God is very merciful! He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our actions. He is not willing that even one person should not make heaven, but that everyone should come to repentance and inherit the eternal life and rewards he has promised. Never, ever give up, no matter how far you have fallen away from God. He is always waiting with open arms to receive you.
Chosen One

(V1)
There’s a name that’s written on my hand
A little child I knew long ago
Long before I made the world
And the angels knew your name
But heaven felt the pain on
The day you walked away

(Chorus)
Chosen one, must I tarry while you fail me?
Heaven waits, the angels sound their drums
Chosen one, while Satan has your company
My heart aches for my chosen one (you’re my chosen one)

(V2)
Chosen one, can you hear me call your name?
I’m reaching out to you once again
I know you failed me before
But if you’ll open up you door
I’ll wash away your sins and I’ll
Take you home again

(Re[eat chorus)
You're my chosen one
