I Choose
I choose
To be the calm within the storm
I will not add to the madness
Anger will not be my companion
Truly a calmer spirit can prevail
I choose
You over me
It is not all about me
Ego will not direct my path
Within your special I will dwell
I choose
To live within this moment
The past has lost its power
Sadness can no longer satisfy
Only the now is really here
I choose
To give of what I have
It was never mine to hold onto
Selfishness will not rule my days
There is enough beyond my need
I choose
More than the temporary
Treasures stored in a heavenly realm
Love will be my companion
"I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever"
