Chosen Lyrics

I didn't know you before you chose me

And then I chose you, so to speak

When the sky cracks open wide

The ones that proved to be by your side

Will be lifted high

Gifted life

You know what's best because you know me better than I ever could

So when I'm tested I know that you'll get me through because you're good

You knew who I was, what I'd be, before I ever found this road

You chose me to do something like what you do and give others hope

You chose me and I answered, you still giving me the choice

And somehow you don't care about the things I did

You fixed my poise

And I don't mean my posture

You revealed just who I truly was

You put a fire in my heart and made a flame out of the dust

As if that ain't enough, you brought me in before I could disprove myself

You gave me chances before I could even do something else

Now we know for certain it ain't by what we think earns us grace

It's simply and complicatedly because he wants us to reflect his face

But the problem is, the truth, honest, is this

He's too good for us but he won't let us be separate even for a little bit

'Cause he loves the travelers unconditionally

And though we deserve to be cursed for sin, cursed's what we'll never be

And ever since we saw that unachievable house on the hill

And discovered it was receivable by the good Keeper's will

We wonder as we wander, knowing it'll make sense someday

But until that time, we share what we know to achieve the endless days

You gave me a drink, so thirsty was I, why would I not partake

When this road, it parches so many travelers into hate

A fate, designed, I'm resigned, got peace of mind 'cause I've tried

Too many times, and failed to fix what ailed my aching spirit

Plagued, I was

I've been made, because

I'm to pay what some might read off as debt

But I bet if you were to feel this too

Then you'd see it's quite a fit goal to set

Impossible until the end

But our efforts aren't what erases sin

We've been made again

And I've prayed that when

I fall prey I'd then begin praisin'
