My Lord I did not choose You
For that could never be
My heart would still refuse You
Had You not chosen me

You took the sin that stained me
Cleansed me, made me new
Of old, You have ordained me
That I should live in You

My Lord I did not choose You
For that could never be
My heart would still refuse You
Had You not chosen me

Unless Your grace had called me
And taught my opening mind
The world would have enthralled me
To heavenly glories blind

My Lord I did not choose You
For that could never be
My heart would still refuse You
Had You not chosen me

My heart knows none above You
For Your rich grace I thirst
I know that if I love You
You must have loved me first

My Lord I did not choose You
For that could never be
My heart would still refuse You
Had You not chosen me
