"'Tis not that I did choose thee,
for, Lord, that could not be. This heart would still refuse
thee, had you not chosen me. You from the sin that stained
me Have cleansed and set me free Of old You have ordained me That
I should live to Thee T'was sovereign mercy called
me And taught my opening mind The world had else enthralled
me To heavenly glories blind My heart owns none before Thee
For Your rich grace I thirst This knowing if I love Thee,
You must have loved me first.
