Choose to Believe
I will choose to believe
And refuse to concede
As a foregone conclusion
The common confusion
That passes for wisdom
Irrational vision
Left standing on air
With the next generation
Left to land in despair
I will choose to believe
What I know we all need
Even deep introspection
Can conceal from detection
A great misdirection
In need of correction
So where can I turn
When I face this rejection
Do I dare now to learn?
I will dare to be strong
I will care and belong
To my Savior who always is true
Though the mirror is dim
I know nothing but him
Till my maker makes everything new
I will give and receive
I will live and believe
In the one who is worthy of praise
Though the world may repress
Him I love to confess
He will come to his own in the end
And redeem all who know him as friend
