Lyrics

Why You ev er (Fm)chose me

All my life I’ve been told I be long at the (Db)end of the (Ab)line with all the oth er (Fm)“Not Quites,”

with (Db)all the “Nev er (Ab)Get It Rights.”

But it turns out they’re the ones You were look ing for (Db)all this (Ab)time.

’Cause I’m just a (Fm)no bod y

(Db)tryin’ to tell (Ab)ev ’ry bod y

all a bout (Fm)Some bod y who saved my (Ab)soul.

Ev er since You (Fm)res cued me, You (Db)gave my heart a (Ab)song to sing.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Fm)sus.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

Well, Mo ses had (Fm)stage fright,

and (Db)Da vid brought a (Ab)rock to a sword fight.

You picked twelve out sid ers no bod y would ’ve chos en, and You (Db)changed the (Ab)world.

Well, the mor al of the (Fm)sto ry is:

ev ’ry (Db)bod y’s got a (Ab)pur pose.

So, when I hear that dev il start talk ing to me, say ing, “Who (Db)do you think you (Ab)are?” I say: I’m just a (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

So, let me go down, down, down in (Db)his to ry

as an oth er (Ab)blood bought faith ful mem ber of the (Eb)fam i ly.

And if they (Fm)all for get my name, well, that’s fine with me.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

So, let me go down, down, down in (Db)his to ry

as an oth er (Ab)blood bought faith ful mem ber of the (Eb)fam i ly.

And if they (Fm)all for get my name, well, that’s fine with me.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

So, let me go (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.

’Cause I’m just a (Fm)no bod y

(Db)tryin’ to tell (Ab)ev ’ry bod y

all a bout (Fm)Some bod y who saved my (Ab)soul.

Ev er since You (Fm)res cued me, You (Db)gave my heart a (Ab)song to sing.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Fm)sus.

I’m liv ing for the (Db)world to (Ab)see no bod y but (Eb)Je (Ab)sus.
