Chosen Confession
O death has no power, it has lost its sting
Because my savior has ransomed me
I’ve only to trust in Him & renew my mind
It’s found in the pages of His word, which He left behind
Inspired by His Spirit, penned by men of old Even if you are a doubting Thomas
In the pages of His word you behold all the power for life & godliness Eternal life-was purchased by His blood for you & I
You’ve only got to confess your sins & on the cross is where they died
But you have to zoom out before you jump in
Weigh your options, there’s a bigger picture, this walk isn’t easy
Bringing only your heart is the only thing you can offer that’s pleasing
He can change where it counts & it starts within
Removing all your darkness & replacing it with Him
Faith of a mustard seed is faith nonetheless
Don’t think it’s not enough, that’s the first big test
He wants you to come to Him with all your burdens
He is the only one who can right the wrong things Because He loves you, He wants you for eternity
Rise up & see you have a heavenly inheritance
It will stand against every futile resistance
Remember to pray always, He loves to commune with you
There’s nothing complicated to it, He knows what & how to give to you
It doesn’t matter if it’s a celebration or when you feel lost & broken He knows a need before it is spoken
That’s the beauty of relationship, it’s a choice & nothing forced upon This is a race, slow & steady is the speed
When you are going a hundred you will miss a key that others need to succeed We are the body of Christ; when we rise, we do it together
Know you are not alone because as a family, we do this with each other
Because of His Spirit that makes us tethered
So choose now in whom you will serve
For if you love one, you will hate the other
