CHOICE

By Dorothy Pierson

 

Every day I can make the choice,

To take the happy outlook, the positive view,

The judgment that is spiritually true.

 

I don’t have to look with worry-eyes,

And voice concern and fear,

Over events as they appear.

 

I can consciously choose to see the good,

To look for God in all I do,

And know that God’s at work in me.

In you, and in and through every activity.

 

I can make the choice!

The God of love designed it so,

And in that freedom I can grow,

 

To trust Him, to choose His way.

To work with Him throughout the day,

 

And joyously share.

In God’s love and care for all creation.

Thank You, God for your trust in me,

That lets this miracle be-

I can make the choice!
