Lyrics
I Choose the Light Intro: You reign on high, Watching over all. Verse 1: You pulled me from the dirt, Cleansed me and healed my soul. You fixed my broken heart, And made this lost man whole. I wandered far from grace, Chasing shadows, lust, and lies, Till all I built came crashing down A grave beneath my pride. Chorus: I walked in darkness, blind and cold; Still, You pursued and never let go. From ruins, You raised me From ashes to life. Now I choose the light; Yes, I choose You, Father. Verse 2: I drank the bitter cup, Let poison flood my veins. I played with fire and danced in shame, Wore every sin like skin. Ignoring every sign, I moved through guilt and pain. Till all I loved slipped through my hands Im never worthy of Your love. But still, You met me in my low, And held me with such care. *Chorus* Bridge: Now every breath I take, And every move I make No turning back, no more regret; Your purpose, Lord, I will fulfil. Come, strengthen me; come, be my guide. Though storms may come, I will not stray, Your truth will be my guide. Forever Yours, Ill walk this path, With Jesus by my side. *Chorus 2x* Outro: You loved me first Father, Im grateful. You take me as I am yes, Lord, Im thankful Copyright 2025 Richard Shekari.
