Saved, Severed, Sent

"And ye shall be holy unto Me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be Mine" (Leviticus 20:26). "The Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.... It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you.... For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost" (Acts 13:2, 15:25,28).

Saved by the grace of God from sin,
Severed to do His will,
Though we're not of the world we're in,
We're sent with a task to fulfill.

Sent by the Holy Spirit of God,
Judging success by this measure:
Whether the world will mock or applaud,
Doing what gives the Lord pleasure.
