When you saw our condition in error's trap;
           You led us to freedom: Servant of the Lord.
                          2            -
             Abundant were His blessings upon you,
         When God tested your heart, you suffered trials;
            You are His Chosen man, Servant of God
        Now you're the one who's guiding, our hearts to God.
        -       - .-      3           -
             We gather here today, along with you,
              To see in you the grace of our Lord;
         Present us to the Father, He may bless our souls,
            With holy gifts upon us, within our heart

              Jn  17.20 CALLING /  1 Jn 5.15 SUPPLICATION
     My Lord, we have beseeched you to bring forth all your flock,
       Those chosen for redemption, the people of your will;
       And give them understanding, let them suffer no more,
     The fierce and painful anguish, away from your sweet grace.
                       CHORUS
         //-//Oh, my Lord// we pray you save your people;
                  Let none be lost in sin-//
                          2
          Confiding in your message I know I can prevail,
      -As I announce your gospel, I know you'll reach the hearts;
       The time has ·come to find you, to leave sin far behind,
           For there's no other pathway into eternal life.
                          3
       Extend us now your i:iower, that they may feel your love,
      And with your mighty Spirit, persuade each of their hearts;
       For without your divine grace, they neither see or hear,
    They slumber so profoundly, but awake from their deep sleep.
                          4
         I also plead for my soul, that I may serve you well,
          My only God and Father; prolong my life for you;
         Kneeling I humbly beg you, listen to my great plea,
