Your Chosen Best

You send to me Your chosen best
I turn my back in rejection
Out of fear and ignorance, I suppose
None the less, a lack of trust in You

The cries You’ve heard
from deep within my heart
And all along, You were trying 
to show me what I was longing for

But my eyes saw different
and my heart feared the past
If only I’d listen to Your tender
still assurance, I’d have known

Now Lord, I see and I hear!
And I weep to think
I could have passed on by 
Your chosen best for my life!

You’ve fulfilled my deepest wants and needs
To heal the hurts of years past
You’ve sent me a kind, loving and gentle man
You gave me Your chosen best!
