Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
he choose me to be his very own
he made me and let me choose my way i
choose to move away
he loves me when hope had taken wing,
he loves me when i lost everything
he bought me redemption work was done
who shall separate me from the Love of God
shall dream of tomorrow pain or sorrow?
can the need of food of earthly possesion? t
the treat of war of man opressions?
in all these things
vict'ry is our reward
victry is our reward
through Jesus Christ our lord
of this I'm sure,
that neither death nor life

nor power nor things present
nor things to come
