CHOSEN
Matthew Levine
When the headlines are dark as the night
And the whole world is hiding in fear
Though our story may read like the ending is near
We must plan while we can
At this moment, the truth is on trial
All but gone is our freedom of choice
Though the powers that be try to silence our voice
They will hear loud and clear …
We are chosen to sing out on this day
Chosen to show each other the way
The Lord is right here to say
We are chosen.
As we turn towards a higher ideal
And question what’s false and what's real
We’ll uncover what others conceal
Though the shadows out on the horizon continue to grow,
we must know…
We are chosen to endure and prevail
No battle can break us, no soul is for sale
Chosen to change dark into light till the
Heavenly kingdom on Earth is in sight
Through His comfort and glory and mercy and might.
We are chosen.
