Choose Jesus

“Choose Jesus” is a brilliant appeal for the unconverted to come to Jesus and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. It is written by Otto Udd-Johansen and sung here by Dorcas Kyllingmark and Laura Sanchez.

Choose Jesus now while in life's radiant dawn of gladness;
Give Him your heart while you are young and full of life.
He is a faithful Friend in times of joy and sadness.
He'll lead you safely home through all life's storms and strife.

Choose Him, my Savior, for now and ever;
No other friend cares so much for you.
While you are young, let Him become your true companion;
He'll be your very closest Friend your whole life through.

O what a comfort in life's many situations
To have a Friend who can give help in everything.
Though in this world you're mocked and suffer tribulation,
You'll find true comfort in your Savior, Lord and King.

Choose Him, my Savior, for now and ever;
No other friend cares so much for you.
While you are young, let Him become your true companion;
He'll be your very closest Friend your whole life through.

O when your sojourn here on earth at last has ended,
A crown eternal waits and glory is in store.
The joy you then will know can not be comprehended.
You'll see your Savior and be His forevermore.

Choose Him, my Savior, for now and ever;
No other friend cares so much for you.
While you are young, let Him become your true companion;
He'll be your very closest Friend your whole life through.
