We Are His
by Barbara Philbrook

We are His, we are not our own,
this is what the Holy Word has shown.

We were chosen and brought to the cross,
where we were shown our life was a loss.

We were given an offer of salvation,
it was extended as a loving invitation.

We were given the choice to believe,
and then the grace to willingly recieve.

We chose then to believe what was revealed,
we recieved salvation and then were sealed.

This was all so absolutely well done,
due to the perfect love of God and His Son.

For those of us God considers to be suited,
it was all so perfectly executed.

Things may not be going just as you thought,
but God is in control so they are going as they ought.

We are His and He will do what is best,
don't give up now this is just a simple test.

We are not in this all alone,
we have a Comforter and He will lead us to the throne.

We are His and He will get us through,
this goes for me as well as you.

Not on our strength or that of each other.
We will only make it on the strength of our heavenly Brother.

We are His by the rite of adoption you see,
and He will do what will bring in more for eternity.
