Set Apart Poem by Gary James Smith

Set Apart

There is a placement for believers
When we come to know the Lord
We are set apart for the glory of God
For the sharing of His Word
Separated from the world
And all of it's fleshly desires
Now that we're walking in the light
Our thoughts are so much higher

We know our destination
We are just pilgrims in this land
Watching and waiting and witnessing
Until we're ushered to Gloryland
Burdened with an implanted passion
For the soul's of lost women and men
Seeking to tell them of Jesus's words
"Ye must be born again"!

The joy of the Lord as our strength
And praise God our victory is faith
For we have repented and have trusted in Him
Believing each word that He said
Forgiveness that spiritual transaction
To the deepest core of our being
For we have been washed in the blood of the Lamb
Once washed there your soul becomes clean

Praise God for His Spirit who leads us
In a purposeful way of new living
Walking in the light through Jesus Christ
With a heart full of praise and thanksgiving
Yet above our joy and rejoicing
With minds still attentive to Him
We try to seek and to tell the lost
You can have victory over sin

Such was our Saviour's compassion
Who often would take up His day
By finding some soul to share with
And show them the heavenly way
So thankful that I've come to know Him
Who has our best interest at heart
And for the glorious work of this gospel
I've been set apart!
