SET APART

Lectionary text: Galatians 1:15 - But when God, who had set me apart before I was born and called me through his grace, was pleased . . .

Set apart, set apart,                                                                              

by God’s grace set apart,
justified, sanctified by the Lord.
Set apart, set apart,
a new call, a new start —
life redeemed, faith transformed, loved restored.

Met the Lord face to face,
set apart by his grace,
God was pleased to reveal Christ to me.
Set apart from my birth,
sent to preach o’er the earth,
though I wonder why God would choose me.

An apostle am I,
set apart till I die,
for his grace I continue to ask.
I’m unworthy, I know,
to be called by God, though
by his grace I am up to the task.

Set apart, set apart,
by God’s grace set apart,
justified, sanctified by the Lord.
Set apart, set apart,
a new call, a new start —
life redeemed, faith transformed, loved restored.
