The world may choose,
to believe what it may
but I choose Jesus . . .
the Truth, Life and Way.
The world may pick,
one God over another
but I choose Jesus . . .
over any other.
The world may offer,
instant gratification
but I choose Jesus . . .
for eternal satisfaction.
The world may decide,
in God they don’t believe
but I choose Jesus . . .
and not to be deceived.
The world may opt for,
the desires of the flesh
but I choose Jesus . . .
to keep my soul afresh.
The world may elect,
a man to be their God
but I choose Jesus . . .
to spare me from His rod.
The world may want,
to pursue after lust
but I choose Jesus . . .
in whom I put my trust.
The world may choose,
another God over Thee
but I choose You ~ Jesus
because You first chose me!
~~~~~~~~~~
1 John 2:16
King James Version
“For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.”

John 15:16
King James Version
“Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you,”

I looked up the YW and there it was in plain sight (Your’re Welcome) but with my eyes rolling around like they do I couldn’t make the YW out – without looking it up first.
