Just a teenager when I heard the call
Family didn’t understand it at all
They looked at where we came from, so broken and poor
Said, "How could a child like you open that door?"
But the Whispers of the Spirit, they spoke so clear
Cast away the doubt, cast away the fear.
Chorus
Oh, many are called, but few are chosen
When the doors were shut, His arms were open
From a poor background to a soldier in the light
An ambassador of grace, walking by His sight
The time is now, the harvest is true
Reverend Apostle Bune, God is working through you.
Verse 2
Just like Jeremiah, chapter one, verse five
Before I was formed, He kept my purpose alive
They said I was too young, too small for the fight
But the Lord said, "Go, I’m putting words in your mouth tonight."
Thank you to the mother, thank you to the man
Who gave birth to this soldier now executing His plan.
Chorus
Oh, many are called, but few are chosen
When the doors were shut, His arms were open
From a poor background to a soldier in the light
An ambassador of grace, walking by His sight
The time is now, the harvest is true
Reverend Apostle Bune, God is working through you.
Outro
No longer bound by where I began
I am an ambassador, holding His hand
Do not be afraid of their faces, He said
The time is now. The word must be spread.
Amen.
Option 2: Contemporary Soul / Afro-Gospel (Upbeat & Celebratory)
Verse 1
In the quiet of the night, a teenage boy heard a voice
It wasn't by my power, it was the Master's choice
My family looked around, they said "this cannot be"
But God looked past the poverty and said "it’s you I see."
Thank you to the parents who raised up this son
The battle has started, the victory is won.
Chorus
He chose me! Out of the many, He called my name
An ambassador of heaven, I’ll never be the same
From the background of struggle to the frontline of grace
Apostle Bune is ready, I’m running my race
The time is now, to work for the Lord!
Bridge
Jeremiah 1, verse 7 to 8:
"Say not, 'I am a youth,' for your destiny is great."
Whomever He sends me, I will surely go
Whatever He commands me, the world will surely know!
Outro
A soldier for Christ.
The time is now.
Let's work for God.
Reverend apostle Bune
