Why Me Lord, Part 2

WHY ME LORD? PART 2


Why did you choose me Lord
To carry Your Word to others
My life was so unmanageable
How could I convince my brothers

Not to choose the path I had taken
Leading to death and destruction
But to one day suddenly awaken
And serve Christ through His resurrection

Why did you choose me Lord
To be like the men of old
To stand unashamed of Your Word
And speak in a manner so bold

I just don't understand it Lord
Why choose the likes of me
To tell others about the Perfect Man
Who walked by Galilee

Seeking twelve to follow Him
And serve Him as He taught
To shine a light that would never dim
But cause His life to be sought

Well, I may not know the answer now
But one day I'll plainly see
Why my life suddenly changed somehow
Because Lord, You chose me

And why did you Lord create me, in thy image you made me, And why do I write these words, for the people to read so that you may be heard, and as I write these words I congratulate you, for sharing your creativity. Great piece. A Fav James
