I Choose You
Jon Reddick's song "I Choose You" is a heartfelt declaration of devotion and surrender to Jesus. The lyrics express a personal confession of wandering attention and a desire for course correction, acknowledging that only Jesus truly satisfies. The song emphasizes choosing Jesus repeatedly because He first chose us, giving everything when we had nothing to offer. It includes imagery of lifting hands, surrendering at the altar, and being called out of the grave, reflecting a commitment to follow wholeheartedly. The repeated refrain "I choose you" reinforces the theme of intentional, ongoing dedication, with a sense of gratitude for God's unconditional love and a resolve to run toward Him in obedience.
Lord, I confess my attention has wondered from you
My heart needs a course correction
Back to what it's true
Of a thousand things I'd run to
You're still the only one who satisfies
So, Jesus, every time
I choose you
Nobody loves me the way that you do
I choose you
Over and over
'Cause you choose me
When I gave you nothing you gave everything
All my life
You're calling me closer
So, I choose you
Over and over
Hands lifted up as I made them
Made them for good for what is best
Surrender all at the altar
And trust you with the rest
You're calling me out of my grave
No turning back now
I've made up my mind
Jesus, every time
I choose you
Nobody loves me the way that you do
I choose you
Over and over
'Cause you choose me
When I gave nothing you gave everything
All my life you're calling me closer
So, I choose you
Over and over
Again
If you're not in it, I don't want it
Here's my heart, take all of it
If you say, "Follow," God I'm running to you
If you're not in it, I don't want it
Here's my heart, take all of it
If you say, "Follow," God I'm running to you
If you're not in it, I don't want it
Here's my heart, take all of it
If you say, "Follow," God I'm running to you
I choose you
Nobody loves me the way that you do
I choose you
Over and over
'Cause you choose me
When I gave nothing you gave everything
All my life you're calling me closer
So, I choose you
Over and over
I choose you over and over
Again
