Jeremiah
(The same Holy Spirit that dwelt in Elijah, dwelt in Jeremiah... The same Holy Spirit that dwelt in Jesus when he was on earth, can dwell in a 4 year old child. Holy Spirit is not a respecter of age or position... He will use a willing heart to communicate His message to those who need to hear it.)
Just a youth when Jerusalem saw exile
Just a young man was I
When the Almighty God came to me
Saying "Go and prophesy
"I knew you, Jeremiah
Before conception had it's place
I set you apart to be a voice
To a stubborn, rebellious race."
"But Lord," I protested
"I'm still very young"
I bowed my head
"I can't be the one"
I thought to myself: who will listen to me
Among men so learned and old
They'll take one look at me, scratch their beards
Turn around and all go home
"Jeremiah, I have chosen you
Do not be afraid
I will go before you
This is a promise I have made
"You will face opposition
My words will cause you pain
But endure, my young spokesman
For victory comes again
So in my youth I will speak the words
That God has given me
I will obey Him and will trust Him
For the harvest He will reap
