"I Choose Now" - Anthony Evans

"I could have no greater joy than to heart that my children live in the truth." -3 John 1:4, NLT

I loved this dance! Lindsey first heard the song last summer when she was on staff at Pine Cove, a Christian family summer camp in East Texas. Anthony Evans came to do a concert one night and when she heard this song she reached over to the girl staffer next to her and said, "Wouldn't this be a fun song to dance to?" The girl was surprised and didn't know what to say, so Lindsey just got up and started dancing in the back of the room! :-)

I had a lot of issues remembering all of the turns in this dance--up until a few hours before our last Art of Worship performance I was trying to remember which steps came in what order. :-) But the song was so fun and drew the audience in to remember that one day we will all bow in worship, but we can choose right now to glorify Him! 


I don’t want tragedy to be the only
Thing that leads me to Your throne
With every moment of my life
With pain or joy I will cry
You are God alone
You’ve given me the choice to kneel or walk away
I’ve struggled with surrender long enough to say

I choose now 
To be humbled in Your presence
I choose now
To fall on my face
'Cause one day
Every knee will bow but Jesus
I choose now

I have the scars I can’t deny from
Thoughtless words and foolish times
But You still forgave
I wondered down a thousand roads
Lost my way but You led me home
Where I was safe
I know heaven is a gift of Your grace

But until I see Your face



I choose now
To be humbled in Your presence
I choose now
To fall on my face
Cause one day
Every knee will bow but Jesus 
I choose now

To glorify Your name
That’s why I was made
To worship and obey
I won’t wait

I choose now 
To be humbled in Your presence
I choose now
To fall on my face 
'Cause one day
Every knee will bow but Jesus
I choose now
