I Choose Christ

Karen Peck & New River

Compositor: Gerald Crabb / Jason Cox / Sue C. Smith

It was not the path I would have chosen
I could see no hope from where I stood
Even though I knew what God had promised
I didn't see how he could work it for my good
Yet that road where pain was a companion
Took me to an unexpected place
And standing in the middle of the darkness
That was where my heart would learn to say

I choose Christ when everything around me says give up
I choose faith, I choose to trust
To believe He is good
He'll come through like he said he would
Every time
Oh! I choose Christ

I don't know the story He's unfolding
But I know in His will He has a plan
So every day my prayer is to surrender
Even when it's hard to understand

I choose Christ when everything around me says give up
I choose faith, I choose to trust
To believe He is good
He'll come through like he said he would
Every time
Oh! I choose Christ

His grace is sufficient, whatever happens in my life
I've made my decision no matter what the price

I choose Christ when everything around me says give up
I choose faith, I choose to trust
To believe He is good
He'll come through like he said he would
Every time
Oh! I choose Christ

I believe He is good
He'll come through like he said he would
Every time
Oh! I choose Christ!

I choose Christ!
I choose Christ!
