Though all that is in me
yearns and aches and craves
something "more"
something else
something temporary...and not You
Today, I chose You
Though it hurts
Though it feels like settling
like giving up
like a consolation prize
Today, I chose You
Though I chose
And speak those words
Through tears
and pain
and defeat
Today, I chose You
Because You chose me
Because You love me
Because You have mercy on me
Even now
Even when
I don't want to choose You
Today, I chose You
Because of your promise
Because of your persistent pursuit
Because of your limitless grace
Because You always know where to find me
And, because You always know how to get me
Here.
Choosing
Wanting to choose
Surrendering
Wanting to surrender
Falling
Wanting to fall
Into the everlasting arms
That bore the cross for me
And bear me and my burdens now
Today, I chose you
Because You chose me
And, because You keep coming for me
When I choose
something "more"
something else
something ...not you
Today, I chose You.
