My playlist #24 - 2

Seventy Times 7 / Brand New

While studying in the book of Numbers a few months back, I came up with an outline, if you will.
This outline pretty much sums up our own wilderness wanderings, and I entitled this song, **I Choose Life** because of the choice I continue to make every day!

1. Wilderness Wanderings - Chronicles Israel’s 40-year journey from Mount Sinai to the edge of the Promised Land.

2. God’s Faithfulness vs. Human Rebellion - Despite repeated disobedience, God remains faithful to His covenant.

3. Leadership and Authority - Challenges to Moses’ leadership (e.g., Korah’s rebellion) highlight divine appointment.

4. Judgment and Mercy - Sin is met with judgment, yet God continually extends mercy.

5. Obedience and Trust - Entry into God’s promises depends on faith and obedience.

6. Preparation and Purification - God organizes, sanctifies, and tests His people for inheritance.

**I Choose Life**

Standing on the edge of promise,
With the desert at my back,
You remind me of the journey,
And the grace I never lacked.
Every word You spoke still calls me,
Through the fire, through the night-
Now I stand before the Jordan,
And You tell me, “Choose what’s right.”

I choose life, I choose You,
Every heartbeat, every truth.
I won’t turn to the left or right,
You’re my fire, You’re my light.
Not just rules, but love I follow-
Every day and every sorrow.
I lay it down, I lift You high-
Oh my God, I choose life. 

You don’t ask for hollow worship,
You want love with all my heart.
To remember and to teach it,
Let it never depart.
You have written on my spirit
Every word that leads to peace-
And the law that once condemned me
Finds fulfillment and release.

 Circumcise my heart, O Lord,
Make me holy, set apart.
Write Your mercy deep within-
From this day, I live again.
You are near, You’re not far-
Your Word is life right where we are. 

I choose life, I choose grace,
I will run this holy race.
Not by might, not by sight,
But by faith in Jesus Christ.
Every blessing, every trial-
You’ve been faithful all the while.
Lead me home through every fight-
Oh my Lord, I choose life.
