From the recording Every Moment
II. CHOOSE TO LOVE
This song speaks to the the compassionate people in ministry who share their hearts and their time and their money even when they get rejected or are unappreciated. This song speaks about the person who doesn't seek accolades from people. This song also speaks to healing social injustices. This song encourages us to "Choose to love" in every circumstance. Scott's acoustic guitar is really fantastic. David's guitar and Jim's bass provide outstanding fullness and depth. Hobie's drums make the song come alive. Jamison, Michelle, and Lizzie's background vocals provide a truly spectacular choir sound. And of course, Lizzie's lead vocals are beyond incredible, truly bringing out the meaning of the song.

Lyrics
Choose to Love
© 2009 mg songs
Look up, look down, look all around
See the person on the ground – look at their face
Lend a hand, understand, try to make amends
Whatever it takes
Fear misses no one
No discrimination, no respecter of persons
Oh it captures everyone
Unless we choose to overcome
Every choice we make/Every choice we take/Every choice we break
Oh it doesn’t have to be that way
We can make the choice to stay
If we start today
Choose to love when it does NOT make any sense… every circumstance
Choose to love …We’ll get out more than we’ll ever put in
Every circumstance …. Choose to love
Take a walk in their shoes
Then you will know what to do
If you don’t see eye to eye
At least you’ll know … how to cry
Choose to love when it does NOT make any sense… every circumstance
Choose to love …We’ll get out more than we’ll ever put in
Every circumstance …. Choose to love
Oh you gotta choose to Love
