Dan Grentz - Chosen Lyrics

Formed through the years on the bank of the brook
Washed by its babbling flow
Nestled in sand
I soaked up the sun
My edges were polished and honed
In the valley of Elah I'd given up hope
Unnoticed by all who passed by
'Til a young shepherd boy on a mission from God
Decided to give me a try

Then he bent down and he picked me up
My life he turned all around
From slingshot to forehead
Quickly I soared
Then Goliath fell dead to the ground

Chosen I was chosen by him
Worthy from his point of view
Chosen yeah he reached down for me
Chosen for his work to do

So when I feel small or not noticed by others
There's no need to be in despair
Cause just like that stone David chose in the valley
I'm being formed in His care
I don't understand all the hows and the whys
My edges are still a bit rough
I know that the love that He spilled on that tree
He'll be using to polish me up

He's still reaching down and picking me up
He's making me just what He needs
Ready to serve anyway that I can
I'll praise Him and wait patiently

Cause I'm chosen I was chosen by Him
Worthy from His point of view
Chosen yeah He reached down for me
Chosen for His work to do

Chosen I was chosen by Him
Worthy from His point of view
Chosen yeah He reached down for me
Chosen for His work to do
Chosen I've been chosen by Him
