I Choose You
Rescue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Choose You
I could pray all day, but it wouldn't be enough
I could find all the right things to say, it wouldn't win me anymore of Your love
I could pray all day, no but it wouldn't be enough
I could find all the right things to say, it wouldn't win me any more of Your love
I could live in a Christ-like way, but it wouldn't earn me one more minute
I do my best to make You stay, but You won't unless my heart is in it
I could work my whole life long to try to earn my wings
I could teach the right from the wrong, but without You it won't mean a thing

I can, can tell about You
I just lose my voice
But if I want to know You, I gotta make a choice
I choose You
You have chosen me to be alive today, this much is true
And You have given me the ability to seek and know You
Whether I believe, it won't change the fact of what You did, but You'll leave it up to me
Choose the right way, choose to live
Repeat
It's true, I choose You
The only way to know You is to lay my life before You
It's true, I choose You
I choose You, I choose You
I choose You
Time will pass with or without me
You've given me a choice of what to do
I can deceive myself or I can choose to live in the truth




Your perfect love, will never change, yesterday, today, tomorrow, still the same
Your promise leaves me with one thing to say, I choose You
