Why Did You Choose Me? Lyrics & Chords
[Intro]
Cm Bb Ab G
[Verse]
Cm Bb Ab G
What do I want? Where do I go?
Cm Bb Ab G
I want what you want but I don’t know
Cm Bb Ab G
What is your plan? Where is your hand?
Cm Bb Ab G
Ensemble: (What do you want?) (What do you want)
G Cm Bb Ab G
What do you want from me?
[Verse]
Cm Bb Ab G
I’m trying to find you. I am listening for your voice
Cm Bb Ab G
Lord, speak to me, I long to hear you. I’m listening
Cm Bb
Maybe I’m too young and lowly. Maybe I don’t have the words
Ab G Cm Bb Ab G
Maybe it could be someone else? Why did you choose me?
Cm Bb
I try to follow every rule you gave to me
Ab G G7
I do what my parents ask of me
Cm Bb
I never talk back or yell or rebel but you’re asking me to
Ab G
march into hell but I can’t tell whether I will win or lose or
Cm Bb
die or try to restore what our country once was before the
Ab G
oppressors enslaved us
Cm Bb Ab G Cm Bb Ab G
oh no. Oh Lord….why did you choose me?
Cm Bb Ab G
Why did you choose me?
Cm Bb
When I fall and sin I turn to you to begin again and listen
Ab G
to your voice and make the choice to follow You once
Cm Bb
more even when it feels like a chore even when I have
Ab G
nothing more to give You forgive me for my trespasses
Cm Bb Ab
and ask me to forgive those who trespass against me
G Cm Bb Ab G
Lord who do You want me to be?
Cm Bb Ab
Yet why should I try to leave my home, be alone, put
G Cm
myself in danger like Your Son in a manger,
Bb Ab
so vulnerable, like a lamb led to slaughter, am I your
G G7
Am I still your daughter? Is this what you want for me?
Cm Bb Ab G
Is this really your will, still? Or a delusion an illusion
Cm Bb
a hope to gain glory and fame so they remember my
Ab G Cm
Name? Will they remember Your name?
Bb Ab G
Your name. Oh Lord. Jesus
Cm Bb
Is the ancient prophecy true or is it false?
Ab G G7
Is it true that one woman would give France away.
Cm Bb
And then another, a virgin, a peasant from the borders of Lorraine,
Ab G
is it insane to believe she would come and
Cm Bb Ab G
Save the day to free France and perhaps set the path for
Cm Bb
Charles to be crowned king and all the people will be singing and ringing
Ab G
they will be cheering and saying my name
Cm Bb Ab G
I must be insane. Oh no. Oh Lord
Cm Bb Ab G
Why did you choose me?
Cm
Why did you choose me?
