The Call of The Prophet
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

Then I said:
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth

But the Lord said to me:
Do not say, "I am a youth,"
For you shall go to ALL to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you
YOU SHALL SPEAK
Do not be afraid of their faces
For I am with you to deliver you

Behold I have put My words in your mouth
I have set you over the nations
and over the kingdoms
To ROOT OUT and to PULL DOWN
To DESTROY and to THROW DOWN
To BUILD and to PLANT
