Choose Life

Seemed to be a good plan at the time
Seemed so harmless, no big crime
The choice was mine and I made it
But I didn't choose life
What I wanted was all I could see
Desire dangled in front of me
I lived on the brink of destruction
'Cause I didn't choose life
While the truth comes to free you
To lift and console you
Lies'll cut you deeper than a two-edged knife
When the wrong way that seems right
Begins to control you
Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price
Cut the power of death and choose life
Each bad choice took away my soul
Soon survival became my goal
I ended up split in pieces
'Cause I didn't choose life
The sound of judgment was hard to hear
'Til the facts came in loud and clear
It's either one way or the other
And I better choose life
While the truth comes to free you
To lift and console you
Lies'll cut you deeper than a two-edged knife
When the wrong way that seems right
Begins to control you
Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price
Cut the power of death and choose life
What then will you choose
How much must you lose
Time is running out
No longer able to slide by your foolish moves
We're nothing more than lives of clay
Formed by choices made yesterday
They turn to mud if you let it
So you better choose life
Be sure that when you add up the score
The last columns add up to so much more
'Cause every single thing you do counts
So you better choose life
While the truth comes to free you
To lift and console you
Lies'll cut you deeper than a two-edged knife
When the wrong way that seems right
Begins to control you
Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price
Cut the power of death, choose life
Choose life
Cut the power of death, choose life
While the truth comes to free you
To lift and console you
Lies'll cut you deeper than a two-edged knife
When the wrong way that seems right
Begins to control you
Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price
Cut the power of death, choose life
