Choose to live new song version

Listen to poem:

Choose to live

When darkness falls upon you,
and, you can't see the light
Look to the maker of the stars,
to show the way

Sometimes the pain of heart is,
too much to bear....
Life can be beautiful...
despite the pain.

Chorus

Choose to live...
even when it seems
the whole world's against you
Choose to live...
forget about the pain 
they've caused you
Choose to live...
Remember your life's
a gift from God,
and you don't have the right 
to take it!


You may live in a mansion,
or a... cardboard shack
Life can be beautiful
either way

Affliction may bring you sorrow,
but... that's o.k
Look to tomorrow's sun to
shine a better day

Chorus

Choose to live...
even when it seems
the whole world's against you
Choose to live...
forget about the pain 
they've caused you
Choose to live...
Remember your life's
a gift from God...
and you don't have the right 
to take it!


Bridge
Everyone is beautiful,
in their own way...
look inside yourself
to find YOUR special gift!


Repeat chorus and fade

Tom Woody Date: 7/29/2025 1:23:00 PM Such an uplifting and important message John. Suicide and self harm are endemic in Satan's world. Supporting those suffering is so important. Prayer can help too.

Sad commentary on how they view their lives, not as a gift rather something else. How to find Maria's you tube?
