God Has Chosen Me

God has chosen me,
God has chosen me to bring good news to the poor.
God has chosen me,
God has chosen me to bring new sight to those searching for light.
God has chosen me, chosen me:
And to tell the world that God's kingdom is near,
to remove oppression and break down fear,
yes, God's time is near, God's time is near, God's time is near.

God has chosen me,
God has chosen me to set alight a new fire.
God has chosen me,
God has chosen me to bring to birth a new kingdom on earth.
God has chosen me, chosen me:
And to tell the world that God's kingdom is near,
to remove oppression and break down fear,
yes, God's time is near, God's time is near, God's time is near.

God is calling me,
God is calling me in all whose cry is unheard.
God is calling me,
God is calling me to raise up the voice with no power or choice.
God is calling me, calling me:
And to tell the world that God's kingdom is near,
to remove oppression and break down fear,
yes, God's time is near, God's time is near, God's time is near.
