I choose to love my Lord

My outward state has left me defeated;

With every trial yet further I fall.

It seems as if there’s been no progress made.

But in the midst of it all…

“I choose to love my Lord

Regardless of my outward sight!

I choose to love my Lord

With all my heart

with all my might!

I love my Lord!”

When I come face to face with temptations

It seems that I still haven’t yet learned.

So powerless my strength is to resist.

All I can do then is turn…

But even then

the guilt comes to haunt me:

My body’s full of weakness and sin.

Yet His word says

“new heart” He’s given me.

So I by faith say within…

Although I’ve failed

I know He still loves me.

He’s gaining me each step of the way.

His heart of love towards me shall never change.

Oh

how my heart burns to say…

“I choose to love You

Lord

Regardless of my outward sight!

I choose to love You

Lord

With all my heart

with all my might!

I love You

Lord!”
