[Verse]
C F G
In a stable there was once brought forth a King
C F Dm G
The only perfect man this world has ever seen
Am G F G
He healed the blind and made men whole, brought light into the soul
F G
And showed us the way to make it home
C F G
Still the mob yelled crucify, so they nailed him to a cross
C F Dm G
Some People Laughed, some cheered, others mourned their loss
Am G F G
He had bled from every pore, yet rose up and conquered more
F G
And testified with gentle words like these…
[Chorus]
C F G
I’ve been called prepared, chosen for all time
C F Dm G
The work I do this day is not mine, but thine
Am G F G
An instrument I will be, through all eternity
C G C
I will listen and obey in every way
[Verse]
C F G
A humble boy in a grove, down on bended knees
C F Dm G
Looked to Heaven above, guarded by the trees
Am G F G
The gospel plan was not known, he wanted to be shown
F G
So he prayed with the faith to have the truth
C F G
The vision came to the one who would not quit and fail
C F Dm G
A chosen prophet from Palmyra to the jail
Am G F G
As he sat within cold walls, with gunshots down the halls
F G
I hear him cry out silent words like these…
[Chorus]
C F G
I’ve been called prepared, chosen for all time
C F Dm G
The work I do this day is not mine, but thine
Am G F G
An instrument I will be, through all eternity
C G C
I will listen and obey in every way
[Verse]
C F G
Much like all of us, I’ve seen my Maker too
C F Dm G
Before this life He showed, all that I could do
Am G F G
Now it’s up to me to choose, to win or to lose
F G
Will I live the way that father knows I can?
C F G
I must go and share the gospel with my friends
C F Dm G
And live my life as though, tomorrow is the end
Am G F G
So when my journey is too rough, and my faith is not enough
F G Ab
I will sing these words and remember who I am, I am!
[Chorus]

An instrument I will be, through all eternity

I will listen and obey in every way
