Lyrics

I Choose to Praise

Verse 1
You looked down, you saw my face,
And you gave me your love.

He came to Earth, he took my place.
You gave me your Son

He took my sin--took my sin upon that tree,
He rose again--rose again and now I?m free!


Chorus
The Earth may shake,
The sun may shine,
The waves may rage,
The wind may roar,
You give and take,
But You are the Lord,
And I choose to praise.


Verse 2
When darkness comes and hides the sun,
When sadness fills my days,

I know that I am not alone,
And I will choose to praise.

Don?t understand--don?t know where this road may lead,
I?m in your hand--and I know your love for me!

Bridge
With all my life,
With all my breath,
I will praise You, Lord.
