Amidst the wolves

I have chosen you in the womb
You who persecuted those who follow me
And opposed me in your blindness
But I will open your eyes to the unseen
And reveal to you the unspeakable
I will open your ears to my secrets
Behold I send you out as sheep amidst the wolves
I will make you solid as the earth
Under my flag I will protect you among your own people

Under my flag I will protect you among the heathens
To whom I send you out
I give you the heat of fire
I give you speed of the wind
I give you the depth of the ocean.
