SONG NO. 288
JEHOVAH CHOSE US AS HIS CHOSEN ONES
1- PETER – 2: 9
For the salvation of every nation ,Jehovah chose us as His chosen ones
For His royal priesthood ,He chose us as His adopted daughters and sons
We are Jehovah’s holy nation, a people for special possession
To work for Jehovah, royal priesthood we adopt as our profession
Through our royal priesthood the nations will be blessed and blessing will be boundless
With Jehovah’s righteousness in our priesthood,we have great success
We are Jehovah’s chosen ones with His favour
Through our priesthood we are preparing people for judgement hour
In the past, Jewish priests were offered animals sacrifices to Jehovah God
With their spotless sacrifices the Jews can gain Jehovah’s favour,if they obey His holy code
As we know Jewish priesthood was foreshadow of Jesus’ perfect priesthood
Jesus is head of this priesthood and the body is those people whose spiritual routine is very good
With Abraham Jehovah promised,the nations will be blessed through his seed
Now in Jesus’ supervision through royal priesthood, the nations are blessed indeed
We are Jehovah’s chosen ones with His favour
Through our priesthood we are preparing people for judgement hour
From the beginning these priests are providing Jehovah’s people with spiritual knowledge
For humans’ salvation these priests are proclaiming Jehovah’s wonderful kingdom message
For Jehovah’s righteous kingdom,this priesthood will make the earthly people perfect
Then on the earth the remaining ones will Jehovah’s perfect qualities reflect
According to Jehovah’s holy purpose Jesus and his priests will make the whole earth a Paradise
Sin makes life harder and hateful through this royal priesthood people will realise
We are Jehovah’s chosen ones with His favour
Through our priesthood we are preparing people for judgement hour
