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
