The Choice

I can’t choose my trials

I can’t choose my pain

I can’t choose my heartache

To try would be in vain.

But I can choose the outcome

Claim defeat or victory

And who better to go with me

But the Master of the Sea.

If He could make the world

And spin it into place

He could make me strong enough

For any trial I could face.

He’s seen the future

And He’s read the plan

So with a trusting heart

I’ll hold to His hand.

I’ll never be a victim

One thing I won’t allow

God has given me the victory

I’m gonna claim it somehow.

I’ll raise my flag high,

But surrender, it won’t be

I’ve already won it

My soul has been set free.
