Choose This Day

The trees are without blossom;

No fruit is on the vine 

The harvest we were counting on

Will not come in this time 

No food is on the table;

No water in the well 

If we survive this famine,

Oh, the stories we will tell 

We may be driven far away from here;

We may be tempted to hold on to fear 

But when our dreams have all gone up in smoke,

We refuse to give up hope because… 

We will make our home

Wherever the Lord may lead

Serving Christ alone,

We’ll live as a family 

There is hope in the place of catastrophe,

In what we choose this day 

The sheep have all been scattered;

My heart's an empty pen 

The things that seemed to matter

Desert me once again 

But looking to the future,

Discov'ring life anew 

We're building on a fresh foundation,

Eternal, brave, and true 

We may be driven far away from here;

We may be tempted to hold on to fear 

But when our dreams have all gone up in smoke,

We refuse to give up hope because… 

We will make our home

Wherever the Lord may lead

Serving Christ alone,

We’ll live as a family 

There is hope in the place of catastrophe,

In what we choose this day 

We will make our home

Wherever the Lord may lead

Serving Christ alone,

We’ll live as a family 

There is hope in the place of catastrophe,

In what we choose this day
