How can I resist,
This love that draws my heart
This voice that calls my name
I’ll never be the same again
And how could I deny
This King who took my place
The One who bore my shame
I run into these arms of grace
How can I refuse
I choose to follow You
This is for me
This blood of Christ
Washing all my stains
Breaking all my chains
This is for me
This death He died
Taking all my sin
Giving me a chance to live again
I choose to follow You
You gave Your life for me
I choose to follow You
Jesus I believe
