\"Fork<\/p>\n

In the Gospel of Matthew, Christ paints clear and vivid pictures of what it looks like to seek after and follow him. He also addresses the cost of being his disciple. This week’s post is simply my response in song. This is an acknowledgment of my calling to follow Christ and a desperate plea for God to give me the will and power to follow him. It’s also a corporate declaration of a conscious choice to surrender our lives completely as an offering of praise, reinforced by a desire, as the redeemed body of Christ, to proclaim the life, truth, and ways of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

The Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Verse 1<\/em>
\nYou beckon me
\nTo follow You
\nTo go Your way
\nTo seek Your truth<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Pre-chorus 1<\/em>
\nIs my faith alive in You today YHWH
\n<\/em>Or is it dead and lying in the grave
\n<\/em>Will I choose to live for You today YHWH
\n<\/em>Or will I just remain here <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Verse 2<\/em>
\nGive me the will
\nTo follow You
\nGive me the pow\u2019r
\nTo follow through<\/p>\n

Pre-chorus 2
\n<\/em>My Faith is alive in You today YHWH
\nNo longer resting silent in the grave
\nI will choose to live for You today YHWH
\nI will choose to live!<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chorus 1:<\/em>
\nThis is the choice we make
\nSurrender a life of praise
\nWe the redeemed, we will sing
\nDeclaring Your life, Your Truth Lord<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chorus 2:<\/em>
\nThis is the choice we make
\nSurrender a life of praise
\nWe the redeemed, we will sing
\nDeclaring Your life, Your Truth, Your way<\/p>\n
