The Choice is Yours
The choice is yours there's freedom in what God would have you choose
For He Who is all joy and peace does not want you to lose
The comfort and assurance that when life seems upside down
In Him there is no need for fear His Word is solid ground
For in His Word He tells us just what He would have us do
There's victory for each battle that this life will bring us to
If we in prayer will seek His face and listen with the soul
His Spirit will indwell in us by grace to make us whole
But if we choose to doubt Him as we've freedom here to do
If we choose not to follow all He's shown us that is true
Then surely as the morning light tomorrow we will see
The earthly things we've trusted will be lost in tragedy
Maybe not in a moment of disaster or demise
But surely as the devil steals our joy before our eyes
Because by doubting Jesus and the truth of life He brings
We're guaranteed disaster and the loss of everything
But even if our choices are not what the Lord would have
Us choose to frame tomorrow as we walk the doubter's path
His mercy still invites us to receive the joy He brings
When we turn from temptation to the hope He's offering
The hope of life eternal that begins for us today
When from the path of failure by His grace we turn away
And listen to His Spirit Who instructs us through His Word
To follow ever faithful to the things that there are heard
That form us in God's image in the image of His Son
That molds us with the faithful for the work that must be done
In bearing faithful witness to the path He's brought us through
Assuring others failing they can be successful too
For when we share with others how the Lord has been our Guide
From times of past surrender to a life we'd rather hide
They too can have assurance of a life that's bright and new
A life that's found in Jesus by the faithful and the few
Who've chosen not to follow where the masses have been led
But principles in scripture God has given us instead
And found there joy and peace and love to last eternally
That started with the evidence of Love on Calvary
John 3:16-17; Joshua 24:14-15; James 4:13-17
