I choose you.

I've seen every tear that you've cried.
The fears and the failures you struggle to hide.
The worthiness doubted beneath all that pride.
The visions and dreams left behind.

I know your remorse and regret.
The secrets and stories you ache to forget.
So many people you'd die to be yet

I choose you, I choose you.
Do you know why I choose you?
I choose you.

If only you could see yourself the way that I do,
And know yourself the way I know you
Then you'd love yourself
As somebody who is wonderfully made.
Wonderfully made are you.

How faultless you are in my eyes.
So gentle and guiltless, so perfect and prized.
There's so much to love that you don't realize,
My child, My beloved, My pride.

A future with so much in store,
A gift those around you are so grateful for.
Nothing can alter that forevermore.

I'd choose you, I'd choose you.
Do you know why I'd choose you?
I'd choose you.

If only you could see yourself the way that I do,
And know yourself the way I know you
Then you'd love yourself
As somebody who is wonderfully made.
Wonderfully made are you.

Forever and ever I'd choose you.
Just as you are, I'd choose you.
Again and again, I would choose you.

If only you could see yourself the way that I do,
And know yourself the way I know you
Then you'd love yourself
As somebody who is wonderfully made.
Wonderfully made are you.

Wonderfully made,
Wonderfully made,
Wonderfully made are you.

I do not understand many things about You, Lord. I have so many questions for You that need answers right away. I know, You've told me You’ll answer me in Your own way. In Your own time. But I am feeling tired to wait.

It’s so hard to follow You, Lord. There were times that I felt You were so near to me and I thought You would not be far. But when I just turn away suddenly, I start to feel nothing of Your touch. Where is Your hand, Lord? Why should I follow You in the hardest and most hurtful way?

Is it necessary for these things to happen especially to me? Why me? There are other persons out there. Those who do not commit sins, so much unlike me. Many times I have failed You yet I am still hearing Your sweet voice, calling me. Regardless of who I am, why do You still choose me? I am a sinner, Lord. Why still me?

Sometimes I do not want to call on Your help when I am feeling afraid or lonely. For many times that I have offended You, I truly feel unworthy to Your favors, yet You still choose to understand me. I believe You know everything about me. I am sorry, Lord.  When I am down, I search for You and ask why can’t I see You. But, You made me feel Your presence through my friends and family. When I am tired, I prefer the easy instead of the right way. But, You made learn some important life lessons wherever my decisions lead me.

At times, I do not understand You, Lord. Why do You let all these things happen to me? Sometimes all I want to do is to give up. For all these years, You know how and how much do I love You. I am sorry for asking You all these. For being tired to wait for Your answers. For sometimes asking You if love is really real. The more I ask, the more I feel hurt. For not being serious before with Your call, I fail to realize my worth. I do not see I am wonderfully made, chosen by You. There’s so much to love that I don’t realize, and I want to see myself now the way that You do.

I believe You’re with me. Lord, please, I need You right now. You are the one who can complete my heart.
