Jeremias

Before giving you life, I had already set you apart
I had already chosen you, before you were born
To be a prophet of the nations

Oh Lord, you know I am very young
Oh Lord, and I cannot control my voice
And he answered

No, do not say: I am too young, you will go where I send you
And you will carry out my command
No, do not fear anyone, I will protect you
The word I give you today stands

Then the Lord extended his hand
And with them touched my lips, and at the same time said
See, I have put my word in your mouth
And from today you have authority over kingdoms and nations
And from today you have authority over kingdoms and nations

No, do not say: I am too young, you will go where I send you
And you will carry out my command
No, do not fear anyone, I will protect you
The word I give you today stands
