...:::'he chooses, calls, and picks':::...

"O Great God who chooses me
Who calls to me and picks me
Who looks past all of the things that others see
Those things that cause them to pass me by.
O Great God who chooses me
Who calls to me and picks me
Even when I am running from you
Even when I am hiding from you
Even when I dont want to be found.

O Great God who chooses me
Who calls to me and picks me
Who invites me into the work of eternity
after I have turned away yet again
Who comes to me after i have messed up yet again.
O Great God who chooses me
Even after i have chosen my will over yours.

I come knowing full well that I will still fun sometimes
Knowing in my heart of hearts that i am not
strong enough
or patient enough
or brave enough
or confident enough
to continue to go where you are leading
But knowing that-beyond all reason-
You are the great God who chooses me
Who calls to me and picks me
And right now, in this moment I lift my life to you in worship and in praise.

O Great God who chooses me
Who calls to me and picks me
Today I choose YOU."
