Choose

This might sound like a country song,

 but I bet most people can sing along

I’m not the only one, who’s come undone

There’s not a person hasn’t felt the sting, 

and there are others who’ve lost everything

And it’s right to mourn, but you can be reborn

For God’s grace is new every morning, 

and it’s given to the undeserving

He will shed new light, on your darkest night

There is peace through the pain if you’ll own it, 

and there’s joy to obtain if you want it

But you have to choose, He won’t force it on you

Lost my job when the recession hit, 

Lost my home and most everything in it

And yet I survived, somehow I’m still alive

Lost my spouse because I made him mad, 

Lost my kids because I was too sad

Did not know how to cope, yet found a ray of hope

For God’s grace is new every morning, 

and it’s given to the undeserving

He will shed new light, on your darkest night

There is peace through the pain if you’ll own it, 

and there’s joy to obtain if you want it

But you have to choose, He won’t force it on you

So I fell to my knees and let everything go, 

laid down my broken dreams and surrendered control

For the slightest chance, beyond my circumstance

Saw my grief and despair dissolve into thin air

When I made a joyful noise, but it’s a daily choice

For God’s grace is new every morning, 

and it’s given to the undeserving

He will shed new light, on your darkest night

There is peace through the pain if you’ll own it, 

and there’s joy to obtain if you want it

But you have to choose, He won’t force it on you

Just give up and give in, the death-grip on your sin

Is standing in your way, of a new life today

What’s done is done and what’s gone is gone, 

you can’t change the past but you can move on

Yes you have to be strong, but He’ll carry you along

For God’s grace is new every morning, 

and it’s given to the undeserving

He will shed new light, on your darkest night

There is peace through the pain if you’ll own it, 

and there’s joy to obtain if you want it

Now it’s time to choose, what do you have to lose
