I Peter 2:9 (KJV)

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

 

A stranger here on earth,

Citizens of Heaven’s splendors,

Sinners saved by grace,

Recipients of the new birth,

Embraced by our triune God,

Gloriously known by our new name

In Heaven’s royal circles of faith,

Daily and forever living in the beautiful

Palace of God’s grace,

And yet lovingly called to

Faithfully and consistently

Extend the kindness

And compassion of our God

By loving like Christ

By living like Christ

By seventy times seventy

Forgiving like Christ,

By telling others about

The glorious good news,

The royal hope

Of Jesus Christ

That lives within,

For we are His

Chosen generation,

Royal priesthood

Holy nation

Peculiar people

Being called

By our

Magnificent

Savior to be a

Contemporary

Modern day

Christ centered

Christ-like,

Love filled

Word honoring,

Grace saturated,

Heavenly minded

Biblically studious,

Spectacular

Victorious

Vivid,

Authentic,

Gentle,

Heroic,

Resilient,

Resplendent,

Servant Warrior

Of God’s grace

While here

In this exotic

Foreign land

Called earth.
