about

A tender balled about adoption, and being adopted into God's family.

lyrics

They Chose Me
©Debbie L. Rice (BMI)


Scared and all alone
In the orphan home
No mom or dad
To sing them lullabies’

Waiting night and day
Just to hear them say
“Too young”, “Too old”
“Not right”, “We’re just not sure”

They sing themselves to sleep
They know no other way
No family to teach
Them how to pray

They long to feel the love
A family can give
Their empty eyes reflect
The life they live

(Chorus)
Why can’t we see?
Why can’t we hear?
The empty lives
Just waiting to be filled

Why can’t we be
His hands and feet
Why can’t we change the world
For just one tiny life.
Why can’t it be:
“They chose me”.

(Bridge)
That’s how it is with Jesus
He chose you as His own
He saw your situation
He knew you had no hope
He never would forsake you
He knew just what to do…..
He chose you.

(Chorus)
Why can’t we be
His hands and feet
Why can’t we change the world
Just one life at a time
We’re all the same
All in His name
A family adopted by the Son
Why can’t we see…
Why can’t it be… “They chose Me”
