I sit and wonder why, Lord
Do people not choose thee
When they hear you’ve paid the price
From sin to set them free
Down here they feel so happy
And they think it’s the best
But if they just choose you today.
They would be richly blessed
In this life they party
Thinking all of life’s a game
If you would fill them with your joy
They’d never be the same
And when the party’s over
And the happiness is gone
They sit their all alone and wonder
When some peace will come
But I can tell them truly
That the peace that Jesus gives
Will permeate their soul each day
As long as they shall live
You ask me how I know these things
So I’ll tell you here and now
‘Twas not that long ago my friend
That I refused to bow
I loved the party life at night
But hated waking up
My mind was filled with torment
My thoughts were so corrupt
It took at least 10 times
For me to head His call
But when I did, He kept His word
And gave to me His all
He blesses me each day
With His presence, oh so sweet
He fills my heart with joy
Happiness just can’t compete
His peace is so remarkable
It soothes me every day
And His love is unforgettable
He walks along my way
But most of all His mercy
Is always reaching me
And His grace is so amazing
As it works to keep me free
You see it really is no contest
What the best life is
So why not turn your life around
And make your heart be His.
The Psalmist
