I Made a Choice
[Verse 1]
Alot of us walk around with a face full of frowns and
We don't know why
Why things never change
Why it always rains and who's to blame
Always gettin' in trouble
It's a never ending struggle
Tangled and tied up in bondage
Feelin' so hopeless and wounded
But there's a day I gave my life to You
[Chorus]
I made a choice (Ooh, ooh) to be with You (Ooh, ooh)
It was the best thing anyone could ever do (I made)
I made a choice (Yes, I did) to be with You (To be with You)
And I promised Him, my God, I will be true
[Verse 2]
Alot of us gotta deal with things that we live with
Wе don't know why
Why things get harder and harder
Darkеr and darker, where is my Father?
Tears keep on fallin'
Is there any joy that's comin'?
Was 'bout to drown in depression
But into session with my weapon
I'm glad I gave my life over to You
[Chorus]
I made a choice (To be with You) to be with You (It was the best thing)
It was the best thing anyone could ever do (I made a choice)
I made a choice (To be) to be with You (Lord, I promise)
And I promised Him, my God, I will be true
[Bridge]
I was called by His name
Humbled as I prayed
Looked for His face
And found His savin' grace
He took my hand
And gave a second chance
That's that day I gladly gave my life to You
[Chorus]
I made a choice (I made a choice) to be with You (You are the best thing)
It was the best thing (Yes, You are) anyone could ever do (That I could ever do)
I made a choice (I'm so glad I made a choice to be with You) to be with You
And I promised Him (I promised to be true), my God, I will be true
[Outro]
I made it (I made it), a choice (I made it)
I made (I made it) the right choice (Made a decision)
I'm glad (I made it) I decided (I made it)
To follow Jesus (I made it), oh (To be with You)
I'm nothin' (I made it), separate me (I made it)
From the love (I made it) of God (Made a decision)
No hate (I made it), no deal (I made it)
No any other creature (I made it) should be able (To be with You)
To separate us from the love of God
