(5 MEAS.) IT WAS NOT THE PATH I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN
I COULD SEE NO HOPE FROM WHERE I STOOD
EVEN THOUGH I KNEW WHAT GOD HAD PROMISED
I DIDN'T SEE HOW HE COULD WORK IT FOR MY GOOD
YET THAT ROAD WHERE PAIN WAS MY COMPANION
TOOK ME TO AN UNEXPECTED PLACE
AND STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DARKNESS
THAT WAS WHERE MY HEART WOULD LEARN TO SAY:
I CHOOSE CHRIST WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND ME SAYS GIVE UP
I CHOOSE FAITH, I CHOOSE TO TRUST
TO BELIEVE HE IS GOOD,
HE'LL COME THROUGH LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD
EVERY TIME, OH I CHOOSE CHRIST.
(1 MEAS.)
I DON'T KNOW THE STORY HE'S UNFOLDING
BUT, I KNOW IN HIS WILL, HE HAS A PLAN
SO EVERY DAY MY PRAYER IS TO SURRENDER
EVEN WHEN IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND
I CHOOSE CHRIST WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND ME SAYS GIVE UP
I CHOOSE FAITH, I CHOOSE TO TRUST
TO BELIEVE HE IS GOOD,
HE'LL COME THROUGH LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD
EVERY TIME, OH I CHOOSE CHRIST.
HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT, WHATEVER HAPPENS IN MY LIFE
I'VE MADE MY DECISION NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE
I CHOOSE CHRIST WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND ME SAYS GIVE UP
I CHOOSE FAITH, I CHOOSE TO TRUST
TO BELIEVE HE IS GOOD,
HE'LL COME THROUGH LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD
EVERY TIME, OH I CHOOSE CHRIST.
I BELIEVE HE IS GOOD,
HE'LL COME THROUGH LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD
EVERY TIME, OH I CHOOSE CHRIST....
I CHOOSE CHRIST....
I CHOOSE CHRIST....
