The Choice
Your words, they are not far away
That I should say I did not know
So I could not obey
Your word is close as heart and soul
The choice is who is in control
And what I do today
You set before me life
You set before me death
And tell me to decide
Which way to go
Help me to hear your voice
Help me to make the choice
To live
Forgive
To live each day in you
To stay so close
I scarcely know
The place I end and you begin
I fear you
With a desperate love
I hear the words that lift me up
Out of the clay, on eagle's wings
As you renew my heart again
You know all that can be known
You know it all
And though exposed
Before your throne
You still say I
Will ever be your own
You set before me life and death
And I will choose
Till my last breath
To love you more than life itself
And trust in you, not in myself
(Deut. 30:11-16)
