Choose This Day

Why do I have to choose?
Don't ask me to do this, the test of my 
virtues?

Did you send this man as part of me?
Then why, does play out, so confusing?

Love and loyality render me irrational.
I gave my heart to both of you, at the aisle.

To have and to hold until death do us part.
That decision would have been easier at 
the start.

I prayed for your soul, when our lives 
began.
Those nights we talked of Christ's 
salvation plan.

Whom will I serve?  Choose this very day.
I know what I must do, my thoughts in 
disarray. 

God, we must follow you beyond and 
above.
Commanding us to choose you, as our 
first love.

You sent us your Son, who died on the 
cross.
Your returning draws nigh, so many are 
still lost.
