The Choice Is Mine

I can be strong, I can be brave
I can be free, or be a slave.
I can forgive as he forgave--
The choice is mine.

I can go through in storm of gale,
I can be true or I can fail,
I can desert or set my sail--
The choice is mine.

If I would live, then I must die
And bid this forbidding world goodbye,
It's treasures dear I must deny--
The choice is mine.

I'll walk by faith where I am led,
It matters not what lies ahead.
And if the choice be crimson red,
The choice is mine.

I can have faith, I can have fear,
I can believe that God is near,
Or I can doubt the things I hear--
The choice is sin.

I can draw close or I can stray,
I can submit or go my way,
Within my heart I hear Him say--
The choice is mine.

If I the King of Heaven choose,
If I the things of earth refuse,
The best I gain, the worst I lose--
The choice is mine.

Because He gave His life for me,
Because of love at Calvary
I take him for eternity
The choice is mine.

The Choice Is Mine

I can be strong, I can be brave
I can be free, or be a slave.
I can forgive as He forgave--
The choice is mine.

I can go through in storm or gale,
I can be true of I can fail,
I can desert or set my sail--
The choice is mine.

If I would live, then I must die
And bid this feeble world goodbye,
It's treasures dear I must deny--
The choice is mine.

I'll walk by faith where I am led,
It matters not what lies ahead,
And if the choice be crimson red,
The choice is mine.

I can have faith, I can have fear,
I can believe that God is near,
Or I can doubt the things I hear--
The choice is mine.

I can draw close or I can stray,
I can submit or go my way,
Within my heart I hear Him say--
The choice is mine.

If I the King of Heaven choose,
If I the things of earth refuse,
The best I gain,the worse I lose--
The choice is mine.

Because He gave His life for me,
Because of love at Calvary
I take Him for eternity
The choice is mine
