Choosing Lyrics

You got to choose you got to make up your mind

Cause you can't go both ways at the same time

You got to pick up on one leave the other behind

And not choosing is choosing of a different kind

God told Adam not to eat of that tree

But he did and made a mess of things for you and for me

God told Abe to go check out the land

And now he has children like the stars and the sand

Lot told his wife not to look back or halt

But she did and she turned into a pillar of salt

You got to choose you got to make up your mind

Cause you can't go both ways at the same time

You got to pick up on one and leave the other behind

And not choosing is choosing of a different kind

Jake made Esau a hot bowl of stew

And Esau said yum the birthright goes to you

God told Pharaoh let my people go

And Egypt was destroyed when Pharaoh said no

God told Balaam not to curse the twelve tribes

And he got himself rebuked by his donkey's own jibes

You got to choose you got to make up your mind

Cause you can't go both ways at the same time

You got to pick up on one leave the other behind

And not choosing is choosing of a different kind

Josh said me and mine are servants of the lord

And God gave him youth and victory with his sword

Ruthie turned to God from idols of stone

And God gave her rest and a son and a home

Solomon was warned not to wander from the way

But he married foreign girls and they led him astray

You got to choose you got to make up your mind

Cause you can't go both ways at the same time

You got to pick up on one leave the other behind

And not choosing is choosing of a different kind

Eli stood up to the prophets of Baal

And God showed his power when the prophets all failed

Neb said bow or in the furnace you go

But God saved the three who had the guts to say no

The question today is Jesus the Lord

Is he God like he said or a lunatic fraud

You got to choose you got to make up your mind

Cause you can't go both ways at the same time

You got to pick up on one leave the other behind

And not choosing is choosing of a different kind
