2
So this same old story, is being repeated,
There are still sheep missing, wand'ring all alone;
Wandering in this world, nowhere near the flock,
//Without God or comfort// without forgiveness.

206. YOU'RE AN APOSTLE OF GOD
.. . . ERESAP6si6(6Ei5i6s
1 Cor:-1s:10HONORTGaJU5"HECTION
You're an Apostle of God, ordained by Jesus, the Lord,
In order to lead the People, which the Lord placed in your hands;
When your father slept in Christ. your great mission had begun,
//You are sent to tend to this Church,
'Tis the will of God the Lord//
2
We recall the time of tears, when our hearts were in great pain,
We thought that we were alone now, no Apostle of the Lord;
But my God who is so loving, your Election He declared,
//We're rejoicing in our spirit, to see Jesus shine in you//
3
We. made a promise to God, your Election we received,
We will heed your every teaching,
Which the Lord bestowed in you;
And as our time is advancing, we will raise our hands to heaven
//We'll confirm that we are faithful, for salvation of our souls//
4
You're an Apostle of God, your place is without compare,
For the Lord chose you to lead, long before creation's time;
We are gathered here before you,
And we'll heed your every counsel,
//We will keep them in our hearts, and walk in them forever//
