203. IT'S A TIME OF ACCEPTANCE NOW
EN.UN TIEMPO DE ACEPTAC/ON ...
LOTW Horacio de la Paz/ ELECTION
It's a time of acceptance now, oh, Apostle of our God,
And your word full of love gave a better way of life;
We're so joyful and happy to believe in your Election now,
All of us are then the fruits of your sweet love.
CHORUS
We love your Election, for all the things it provides,
It's beautiful to live in your friendship delighting so;
We love your Election, it is blessed, precious, too,
It came down like the rain, and engendered faith in my soul;
Now I have you inside my heart,
To the heavens you shall take me,
And eternity I shall see one day with you.
2
So this knowledge that we now share,
As your children we now enjoy,
Because it is one faith and there is only one sweet love;
All the teachings that God gave you have all united us as one,
Your election many thousands now proclaim.
3
Now your people can feel at peace,
And our hearts simply brim with joy,
All the wonderful love of God we feel inside us all;
Our souls also can't resist just being close to you this way,
For we know all things that are inside of you.
4
What a privilege we can feel of your holy authority,
It's the power divine that brings freedom to all of us;
And whatever you bind on earth
Will then be bound above the clouds,
For the Lord bestowed great power within you.
