I was taught the scriptures, before I could read them I found them to be true, that's why I believe them With all of my heart, my soul, and my strength With every song I sing I choose to be a Christian, I will follow Christ Carry the cross that leads to light I will be true, stand for my convictions Whatever others do, I choose to be a Christian As this world grows darker, my lamp will be burning Kindled with love for the one who is worthy He gave his all, so I will give mine I'll lay my life on the line I choose to be a Christian, I will follow Christ Carry the cross that leads to light I will be true, stand for my convictions Whatever others do, I choose to be a Christian I will be bold Unashamed of the gospel of his name I choose to be a Christian, I will follow Christ Carry the cross that leads to light I will be true, stand for my convictions Whatever others do, I choose to be a Christian
