We have been chosen to be
Holy and pure before God
He built His temple in us so that His name
Would always be lifted in praise
We must stay faithful to Him
Turning from all other gods
He will inhabit the throne of our temples
Establishing all of our ways
We are a priesthood from His royal line
A people belonging to God
Let us sing praise that He calls us His own
Brought from the dark into light
Bring Him Who sits on the throne
All the honor and praise
And the glory and power forever and ever
For He is the Lamb Who was slain on the cross in our place
Bearing the shame of our sins
We must stand boldly and glorify God
And magnify Him before men
We have been chosen to be
Holy and pure before Him
Let us sing praise that He calls us His own
And honor the Lamb Who was slain
