The message of this song goes straight to the heart of anyone who is hurting, no matter the trial. I only recently heard it as my husband had been listening to it on YouTube and ordered the music to sing in church. May the words of the talented songwriter, Rodney Griffin, encourage you today and may God smile down on you as you choose!
“I Choose”
by Rodney Griffin
Master, may I be so honest? Could I admit the way I feel?
I’m hurting. It seems that You’ve forsaken.
I wonder, is Your love for me still real?
Though my friends think I am happy, unaffected by this trial,
they can’t see the pain I’m hiding just underneath my smile.
Master, I can’t live this way anymore. So, today, I make my choice.
I choose to believe that You are faithful, and my heart is in Your hands,
and this mystery that I face today is part of a greater plan.
I choose not to be discouraged when the sun will not break through.
I have the choice of trusting You. So, Lord, this is what I choose.
I know the road will not be easy. I know I’ll have my weaker days.
And Satan will tell me I don’t mean it when I say I’ll trust God all the way.
But that really doesn’t matter. I refuse to hear him out.
With my faith, I’ll find the power that will overcome all doubt.
Lord, I’ve never felt so strong as when I’m resting in Your arms.
I choose to believe that You are faithful, and my heart is in Your hands,
and this mystery that I face today is part of a greater plan.
I choose not to be discouraged when the sun will not break through.
I have the choice of trusting You. So, Lord, this is what I choose.
I choose to believe that You are faithful, and my heart is in Your hands,
and this mystery that I face today is part of a greater plan.
I choose not to be discouraged when the sun will not break through.
I have the choice of trusting You. So, Lord, this is what I choose.
This is what I choose. Gonna trust You, Lord. I choose!
