[Opening Declaration] Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one. Love Him with the heart entire, With strength beneath the sun. Bind the word upon the hand, Teach children night and day; Write it on the gates of home, Speak it along the way. [Chorus] Choose life, choose life, That you and your children may live. Hold fast, hear His voice, Love the Lord with all you can give. Blessing and cursing lie open today; Choose life, choose life, And walk in His way. [Verse 1] Remember you were servants, Remember you were freed. Do not forget in houses You did not build or seed. When vineyards yield abundance And wells you never hewed, Fear the Lord who brought you out; Let gratitude renew. [Bridge - Recited Pulse] The word is not in heaven, Too distant to be heard. It is near within the mouth, Within the heart, the word. No ocean hides obedience, No mountain bars the choice; The covenant stands before you: Turn and hear His voice. [Final Chorus] Choose life, choose life, Not idols, pride, or gold. Choose love when years are passing, Choose truth when hearts grow cold. Heaven and earth bear witness To what is set today: Choose life, choose life, And teach the coming way.
