Lyrics: How can I look at the scene of the cross and not be changed by the love in Your face? How can I look at the nails in Your hands and not be moved by the price that you paid? How can my eyes see the road that You walked, then turn my back and just go on my way? I see You now, oh my Lord and my God, and I am faced with the choice that I must make. I choose to live for You alone, to make Your cross my only glory and Your grace my only hope; to yield my will and to make my heart Your throne! I choose to live this life You give for You alone! How can I look at the grave where they laid You and not shed tears for my Lord and my friend? How can I stand with the ones that you loved and have courage to hope it's not the end? But now the sky is ablaze with new light! The stone's rolled back and the dawn's broken through! You're with me now, Oh, my Lord and my God, and I will lift up my life, my all to You! I choose to live for You alone, to make Your cross my only glory and Your grace my only hope, to yield my will and to make my heart Your throne! I choose to live this life You give for You alone! I choose to live for you alone, to make Your cross my only glory and Your grace my only hope; to yield my will, I choose to make my heart Your throne! I choose to live this life You give for You alone.
I haven't heard the original, but I really like your voice! my one nitpick is that I can hear the vocals in the backing track, but it really doesn't take anything away from your performance. keep at it my guy!
Was blessed to be the one selected to sing this at a Christmas cantata in December 1993. Terrifying. How do you live up to THAT voice??? Was told I did well but I didn't quit my day job. THIS SONG BLESSED ME SO MUCH and brings back dear memories. This was my testimony. I got saved on a Sunday night, March 12, 1972, but didn't feel any different. WOKE UP MONDAY MORNING A DIFFERENT PERSON. My anger and fear were GONE. The desire to drink and take drugs -- GONE. The desire to shoplift -- GONE. I was FULL OF JOY for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! REAL joy. It sounds like a cliché but EVERYTHING SEEMED BRIGHTER. I vividly remember thinking that my room seemed brighter. EVERYTHING seemed brighter. Must have been Jesus' presence in my life -- the Shekinah light from the presence of the Holy Spirit. I have forgotten that. Father, forgive me and flood my life with your glory...
I was 16 years old and directing our small rural church choir around 1987. I can't believe I selected this difficult cantata - a definite recipe for failure. But the choir members were so dedicated and did their very best. I was a tyrant and delusional. I even strongly "encouraged" my sister to do this solo, unaware at the time that it was Sandi Patty doing the demo. God forgive me. 😆 🤣 😂
You know the death of this genre of church choral music was that no one could sing it. This song is the perfect example. No one could sing this like Sandi Patty - and this was just meant to be a "demo tape" for church choirs who, bless their hearts, tried so hard. But it never sounded like this and that therein, was the problem.
I totally agree. It sounded easy but great when I first listened to it and selected it for our small rural church choir. Big mistake even though the members were totally dedicated.
