We are Called, We are Chosen
SHESA
"We Are Called" by David Haas* is a popular Catholic hymn about Christian mission and service. It’s a song that says we are chosen by God to bring light, hope, justice, and love to the world; to serve one another, act with justice, love tenderly, and walk humbly with God in our daily lives.
Lyrics
(Refrain) We are called, we are chosen. We are Christ for one another. We are promised to tomorrow, while we are for him today. We are sign, we are wonder. We are sower, we are seed. We are harvest, we are hunger. We are question, we are creed. Verse One Then where can we stand justified? In what can we believe? In no one else but he who suffered, nothing more than he who rose. Who was justice for the poor. Who was rage against the night. Who was hope for peaceful people. Who was light. (Refrain) (Verse Two) Then how are we to stand at all, this world of bended knee? In nothing more than barren shadows. No one else but he could save us. Who was justice for the poor. Who was rage against the night. Who was hope for peaceful people. Who was light. (Refrain) (Verse Three) Then shall we not stand empty at the altar of our dreams: When he promised us ourselves. Who mark time against tomorrow. Who are justice for the poor. Who are rage against the night. Who are hope for peaceful people. Who are light.
