I Choose

Words of death turn your face from me
Words of death take your hate and leave

There’s no room for you here
I've moved on to something better
A life free from fear
A life of conviction and power

I refuse to be a victim

To the wicked things that surround me
I will not be overcome by a world that would have me slaughtered
I will overcome
With the power he's given me
I will overcome
Despite what my failures have taught me
I will overcome

Words of life speak to me
Words of life speak to me for I am weary
Sometimes I feel I have nothing to give
And there’s nothing left to live for
But if there’s one thing I know I know this truth is my salvation

I know I know that you have something better
Than these chains and fetters
I have seen your remedy that heals a broken heart
Even the heart that’s torn apart

Give me a fresh start
I had nothing to live for and nothing to give but now
I have the chance to eternally live free from disaster free from shame
It’s all in the power of the name
I have a purpose you have a plan
All is well in your mighty hands
On my own I could hardly stand though you I am a new man
