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!
