\nWe make choices, we live and learn…
\nNow I’m standing at a crossroad, and I must choose which way to turn…
\nDown one road lies all the world can offer, all it’s power, its wealth, and fame…
\nDown the other is just a Man, with nail scars in His hands…
\nBut there is mercy in His eyes… There is power in His Name…<\/p>\n
\n without a solitary doubt, I choose Jesus…<\/strong>
\n Not for miracles, but for loving me…<\/strong>
\n Not for Bethlehem, but for Calvary…<\/strong>
\n Not for a day but for eternity… I choose Jesus…<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThen I heard Him speak the language of compassion, words of healing
\nfor broken lives…
\nWhen they nailed him to a tree,
\nHis love included me…
\nNow He is calling me to follow Him and leave the past behind…<\/p>\n
\n without a solitary doubt, I choose Jesus…<\/strong>
\n Not for miracles, but for loving me…<\/strong>
\n Not for Bethlehem, but for Calvary…<\/strong>
\n Not for a day but for eternity… I choose Jesus…<\/strong><\/p>\n
