“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit…” | John 15:16
Lyrics by Josiah Conder
Music by Matthew Smith
My Lord, I did not choose You,
For that could never be;
My heart would still refuse You,
Had You not chosen me.
You took the sin that stained me,
You cleansed me, made me new;
Of old You have ordained me,
That I should live in You.
(Refrain)
My Lord, I did not choose You,
For that could never be;
My heart would still refuse You,
Had You not chosen me.
Unless Your grace had called me
And taught my op’ning mind,
The world would have enthralled me,
To heav’nly glories blind.
(Refrain)
My heart knows none above You;
For Your rich grace I thirst;
I know that if I love You,
You must have loved me first.
(Refrain x2)
