A state of continual choice - (Choose You This Day)

A generation is hungry for a relationship with God but has instead been fed a mixture of apathy, addiction, and isolation - and they've been told that this is the life in store for them. And the church has been silent on this matter.

The voice of the church has stopped at the walls of its buildings, leaving those outside to fend for themselves. Ministering to the well, and leaving the sick to die. A generation has been abandoned because we don't understand the language they speak, and don't like their clothes and their hairstyle.

Yes, they're rebelling against authority. They've been raised to question everything. What did we expect? Our society is reaping the consequences of its choices. And who will bring change?

We rally behind the banner of change. But you cannot simply "choose change" and let that be the end. Change is not one choice, it is a lifetime of choices.

Choose You This Day, and set the course for your life; but choose every day thereafter to continue in it.

-----

The time has come, to raise your voice.
The time has come, to make your choice.

Our enemy has found the weakness of the human heart
He knows to keep us in distraction is the surest way
To keep us all imprisoned in this bondage that we've
Really been set free from if we'd only lift our chains
We'd see the cost of sin was paid on Calvary.

The time has come, to make your choice.
The time has come, to raise your voice.
Choose you this day, whom you will serve.
Choose you this day, whom you will serve.

You're not a slave to sin unless you choose to serve
The master of this world and just believe that's all
There is to life. But hear me when I tell you
That your Father is still calling to His children
And His arms are open wide.

You live upon this earth but it is not your home,
Your Father has prepared a place for you, in paradise.
He's placed a purpose and a plan inside you
Hidden in your dreams and deep desires
but the world would like to sell you something else.

Don't be deceived,
This world will drag you down
See the power working from within
and see its tragic end.

"How long will you waver between two opinions?
If the LORD is God, follow him..." - 1 Kings 18:21

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD,
choose you this day whom ye will serve;
whether the gods that your fathers [have passed down through generations,
or the gods of your culture that hold sway over popular opinion,]
but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
- Joshua 24:15 (KJV) [lyrical adaptation]
