It seems preposterous arrogance

It seems preposterous arrogance,
that God should choose a man,
to signal to the Gentile world,
the focus of a plan.

Yet this is what St Paul had felt,
that he had one clear role
to share the love of Christ, the grace
of God, from pole to pole.

Verse 3-5 follow

Tune: GERONTIUS
