i have chosen you like a king who hides in shadows while a thief usurps his throne you stumbled down through all your days without direction while the soldiers and the servants who should be at your command are all abandoned to surrender and defection as the kingdom groans beneath the load your feet go running down the road in panic you ve forgotten all i ve told you if you ll just call you d see me there at the very instant of your prayer but you ve bought a bill of goods the liar s sold you chorus i have chosen you there s no need to run away i have chosen you why do you doubt the words i say through it all i ve been right by your side ask me and you will not be denied like a slave who wears the collar of a hard and cruel man and is convinced that he deserves the treetment given tortured to believing nothing s ever going to change till you ve forgotten there was ever more to living but as you struggle with your load the messengers come down the road and the slaver flees in fear as he beholds them they break your chains and set you free to stand amazed in liberty and at last they give the word that god has told them chorus i have chosen you and i will not turn you down i have chosen you you were born to wear a crown i ll give you what you need to carry on till all that stands opposed to you is gone i have chosen you and i will not turn you down i have chosen you you were born to wear a crown through it all i ve been right by your side ask me now you will not be denied ask me now you will not be denied ask me now you will not be denied
