I Choose Praise

Choose joy when the path you take is lonely

Choose joy when the path you take is hard

This life was not meant to be easy

Sometimes you will stumble in the dark

And through each situation

And the trials that I’ve faced

I’ve learned to rise above them all

Through Your power and Your strength

Chorus

So I choose joy and I choose praise

In the midst of the storm

And in the darkest of my days

Oh, I choose joy and I choose praise

When all I have is gone

I can still say

That I choose praise

Choose praise even when your heart is breaking

Choose praise when all you feel is pain

Hold on to His hand through your suffering

Hold on and sing through the rain

And through each situation

And the tears that I’ve cried

I’ve learned that no matter what the trial

I can still have peace inside

Chorus

Because even in my weakness I can be made strong

And even in the darkness You give me a song

And even in my sickness I know healing will come

You never leave my side

You never leave my side

Chorus

In my weakness, In the darkness, In this sickness, Oh yes

I choose praise

I choose praise

I choose praise
