Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a child.’ But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am only a child”; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.’ Then the Lord put out a hand and touched my mouth; and the Lord said to me, ‘Now I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.’ The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Jeremiah, what do you see?’ And I said, ‘I see a branch of an almond tree.’ Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.’ The Ministry of Music / Selección Musical Mass Choir Count Your Blessings by arr. by Lori Goss 2 Call to Engage / Sermón Rev.
