You Chose To Save

Lyrics and music: Evelyn Tai
Second verse : Ng Wah Lok


Verse 1:

If I could do it all right, If I could pray all night

And I never got into a fight

If all the words that I said, and all the thoughts in my head

Were ever blameless and free of pride

I may think I am kind, and be pure in my mind

But my heart keeps telling me…

By Your mercy and grace

I‘m a sinner You chose to save.


Chorus:

It’s the sinner who needs a Saviour

The loner who needs a friend

The sick who need a doctor

And the weak to know they can

It’s the broken heart crying out for love

Hoping someone hears

And it’s the people all around us

Who need Jesus’ love


Verse 2:

If I could fly to the stars, make a landing on Mars

Take a shuttle to the Milky Way

If I could fly to the moon, and still be home by noon

Then spend the evening watching penguins play

And my life is a dream, I could live like a king

But my heart keeps telling me…

By Your mercy and grace

I‘m a sinner You chose to save.


Bridge:

Now there’s a place that I call home

It’s in heaven beside His throne

Where He’ll welcome me into his family
