What He Purposed For Me

[Sue J Love]

Now, once I was a sinner.
I lived to please myself.
My thoughts of what I wanted
I put not on a shelf.

I did what gave me pleasure.
I did just what I liked.
I did what brought enjoyment.
Myself took not a hike.

But Jesus called me to Him
To leave my sin behind,
To find my life now in Him,
No longer to be blind.

So I now follow Jesus
In doing what He says.
My life committed to Him
To go where I am led.

My heart surrendered to Him.
My will to do His will.
I want to always please Him.
His Spirit in me fills.

For now I am His servant.
I’m called of God to be
Just what He purposed for me
When Jesus set me free.

So I do witness for Him.
I share the gospel truth.
My heart, it so adores Him.
I knew Him from my youth.

I pray that others know Him
And die with Him to sin,
That they will follow Jesus,
Their hearts now cleansed within.
