Why did you choose me
I mean I am far from perfect
I still mistakes over and over again
I still fall back into my old ways
But somehow you still choose me
You still see the best in me when no one else can
You look right through me
Past the thorns and flaws and still love me
You were right about love being patient and kind
Because that’s all you ever are to me
Instead of neglecting me you choose to take me as I am
1 Peter 1:4 tells me to come to you as a living stone
Rejected by the world and chosen by you
So I take comfort in your arms knowing that one mans trash is Your precious treasure
When my skin was ripped through you were there
When those words cut my heart you were there
When I cried to myself about the wrong Boaz you were there
However I too have done my fair share
From the bitter offence, to the burning out lash
To the undermining of my worth as a woman
Yet through all of those you still choose me
And love me unconditionally
When I think about the intensity of your love
My heart rejoices
When I think about your constant goodness
I feel joy, word to Nehemiah
When I think about the joy of The Lord
It strengthens me, word to Paul
When I think about strength
I believe I can do all things through your son Christ who strengthens me
Cos you see
Day in day out I am at war
Flesh wants one thing my Spirit needs another
Let me say that again
Day in day out I am at spiritual war
My insides burn like a battlefield
Shots fired across the fine line where the sides have been drawn
All in the name of achieving the ultimate KO
Basically, the enemy wants to KO my soul
But prophet Isaiah said no
Because the weapons of the enemy formed against me shall not prosper
Well I leave with this
I, Chi, choose to be strong like Joshua was
I, Chi, choose to be brave like Gideon was
I, Chi, choose to be a woman after your heart like David was
No matter what the trial and tribulation may be
I choose to be victorious in Thee
