Choose

I first heard this song in a teacher worship time about three weeks ago. The lyrics really caught my attention, because I realized the realities of my life in the words. My downfalls come when I choose to be consumed by all the the world offers, rather than being completely in love with God, loving what He loves and running from the things He doesn't love. These words have become my prayer. May you also find encouragement in the power of these lyrics!

CHOOSE
(Christy Nockels)

Let me be in love with what You love

Let me be most satisfied in You
Forsaking what this world has offered me
I choose to be in love with You
I will choose to be in love with You

Let me know the peace that's mine in You
Let me know the joy my heart can sing
For I have nothing Lord apart from You
I choose to call on Christ in me
I will choose to call on Christ in me

For in the fullness of who You are
I can rest in this place
And giving over this, my journey Lord
I see nothing but Your face

Let me know that You have loved me first
Let me know the weight of my response
For You have long pursued my wandering heart
I choose to glory in Your cross
I will choose to glory in Your cross

And I bow down...
Humbly, I bow down...
Humbly, I bow down...
I bow down...

I bow down, I bow down
my beloved- here I am
I bow down, I bow down to You...
