Selected by the hand of Christ
Twelve men you were chosen to be
Each one, in your own time to be
With your own special talents, for a purpose to be
Chosen to serve the Son of the Living God
Obedient to the Father you were to be
All of you left behind your houses and loved ones
Your towns, villages, all that you knew
To go into the world to serve Christ, the Lord
Power and Authority were given to all
To combat and defeat the enemy of old times
To cure the sick, and to drive out demons
To preach the good news of salvation
To the unbelievers of the world
For all to be saved, that chose to be free
Obedient and strong you were to go forth
On the road, you were taken on in faith
To confirm to the world, that Christ was real in faith
That He was the Son of the living God, the Messiah
You all learned from, the Master Jesus Christ Himself
He taught you to travel on the narrow road
To travel on it without fear and doubt
Twelve men, differently in character all on the same road
What a privilege you all had to serve Christ
