You Chose Me

(Jordan Lewis)

This song of faith was originally meant to be a love song about being rescued from one’s self by another person. I guess in some ways it still is. You chose me is a love song to god, telling the story of how despite the doubts, and pain we go through, and all the bad decisions we make in life, he still chooses us. No matter how much work we need done.

Sadness
All day on my mind
I tell myself I’m fine
I should have been abandoned 
But you stayed right by my side 

Tell me what did you see
Why did you choose me
I’m just a broken piece 
You can do better
The time spent fixing me
You could have fixed two or three

Battered
I’m covered in a thousand bruises
I’ve got nothing worth losing 
So used to being used
And
I think I’m bad news 
But I can’t tell how you feel
So many restless nights 
Sometimes I doubt if you’re real 
But if you are
Reach a little further
Take my hand and nurture 
Show me what it’s like to heal

And I don’t really know what’s the best way to go
But I guess you never really know
Sometimes you just have to reap what you sow 
Lead me like a shepherd
Guide me to the door

Sadness
All day on my mind
I tell myself I’m fine
I should have been abandoned 
But you stayed right by my side 

Empty
Drained of all emotion 
Drowning in an ocean
You pulled me to the shore and
Told me it’s okay to breathe 

For so long I’ve been staring through this window 
Years stuck in crescendo 
I’m at my lowest low
Staring at the highest height
But no longer do I need to fight
You promised you’ll be my peace and quiet

Tired
Even though my sails get weary
Blowing through the wind
I won’t jump ship again
It ain’t smooth sailing 
But I’ll hand the helm to him
The fact that I’m still hear
You must have saved me time and again

Winning
I studied your love letter
You showed me I could do better
And now there’s better weather
