Lyrics

Verse 1
Before God and Jesus, who judges all of us,
we have the honor of proclaiming His Word.
In every moment, whether the time feels right or not,
we can speak truth wherever it can be heard.

Chorus
I have chosen you, My child, for this time and place,
To shine My light in darkness, to run the holy race.
Though the world may turn away, chasing myths and many lies,
I have chosen you, My child, to keep your eyes on the prize.

Verse 2
A time is coming when people not hear what you say,
seeking voices that comfort their own hearts.
They will wander from truth into myths.
But you keep your focus, endure what comes your way,
tell them what I've given you to say.

Chorus
I have chosen you, My child, for this time and place,
To shine My light in darkness, to run the holy race.
Though the world may turn away, chasing myths and lies,
I have chosen you, My child, to keep your eyes on the prize.

Bridge
It’s the war of the ages, the battle rages on,
give it all, surrender all, till the fight is won.
God’s poured out His Spirit, equipped you for the call,
For the crown of life is waiting for the ones who give their all.

Verse 3
Like a drink offering poured out, our departure draws near.
We fight the fight, and finish the race,
hold what we know to be true.
On that day when He shows us the wealth of our lives,
we'll rejoice and sing His praise.

Chorus
I have chosen you, My child, for this time and place,
To shine My light in darkness, to run the holy race.
Though the world may turn away, chasing myths and lies,
I have chosen you, My child, to keep your eyes on the prize.

Outro
God has chosen you to rise and stand firm.
The Creator of all holds you in His hand.
The war ahead is unlike any before,
but His promise endures. He knows you're gonna stand.

Chorus
I have chosen you, My child, for this time and place,
To shine My light in darkness, to run the holy race.
Though the world may turn away, chasing myths and lies,
I have chosen you, My child, to keep your eyes on the prize.
