Untold Identity - Chosen

I didn't know you before you chose me
And then I chose you, so to speak
When the sky cracks open wide
The ones that proved to be by your side
Will be lifted high
Gifted life

You know what's best because you know me better than I ever could
So when I'm tested I know that you'll get me through because you're good
You knew who I was, what I'd be, before I ever found this road
You chose me to do something like what you do and give others hope

You chose me and I answered, you still giving me the choice
And somehow you don't care about the things I did
You fixed my poise
And I don't mean my posture
You revealed just who I truly was
You put a fire in my heart and made a flame out of the dust
As if that ain't enough, you brought me in before I could disprove myself
You gave me chances before I could even do something else
Now we know for certain it ain't by what we think earns us grace
It's simply and complicatedly because he wants us to reflect his face

But the problem is, the truth, honest, is this
He's too good for us but he won't let us be separate even for a little bit
'Cause he loves the travelers unconditionally
And though we deserve to be cursed for sin, cursed's what we'll never be

And ever since we saw that unachievable house on the hill
And discovered it was receivable by the good Keeper's will
We wonder as we wander, knowing it'll make sense someday
But until that time, we share what we know to achieve the endless days

You gave me a drink, so thirsty was I, why would I not partake
When this road, it parches so many travelers into hate
A fate, designed, I'm resigned, got peace of mind 'cause I've tried
Too many times, and failed to fix what ailed my aching spirit

Plagued, I was
I've been made, because
I'm to pay what some might read off as debt
But I bet if you were to feel this too
Then you'd see it's quite a fit goal to set
Impossible until the end
But our efforts aren't what erases sin
We've been made again
And I've prayed that when
I fall prey I'd then begin praisin'
