Choose
The morning is glowing so cloudless and clear
This last day to greet us of this passing year
So much in the future that yet lies ahead
Still beckons us listen to its voice instead
Of past pain and sorrow who constantly call
For us to be focused on how we did fall
Instead of the promise we have in God's Word
That still we have His voice in which can be heard
Assurance and meaning for all that has been
To make mold and fashion us not by our sin
But by Him Who gave us the all that He is
That we might in faithfulness take of our this
And give as He's given no more for ourselves
But for those in darkness still under the spells
The devil's still casting to make us like him
Destroying God's image in each one of them
Who watch not for Jesus but for what might be
Their gainful excitement in perversity
Or riches and glory that Satan holds out
For those who still wander in darkness and doubt
But we do have promise that what might have been
The unsought for moment we suffered from sin
Or lost one in sadness we'd held close and dear
Will not last much longer as Jesus is near
Not just in His Spirit but in His return
To call those from sleeping and those who have learned
That only are waiting to be with Him then
Will be firmly grounded in sight of all men
As His Who has called us from darkness to light
No more hopeless servants of this world's sore night
But bright beams of glory to Him Who gave all
To save those still stumbling who look as to fall
But who will still choose Him Who calls through His Word
And saves for the future the souls that have heard
And answered in chorus with angels to Him
This year that is coming will be His in them
Psalm 91:1-16; 23:1-6
