Verse 1:
       C                 G               Am               Em
Like a king who hides in shadows while a thief usurps his throne
             F                         G                           C
You stumbled down through all your days without direction.
                        C                G                   Am         Em
While the soldiers and the servants who should be at your command
          F             G            C
Are all abandoned to surrender and defection
                    G                 G
As the kingdom groans beneath the load,
     Am              Am
Your feet go running down the road
   G                G              C
In panic you've forgotten all I've told you.
   G                      G
If you'll just call you'd see Me there
       Am           Am
At the very instant of your prayer
           F                D                  G
But you've bought a bill of goods the liar's sold you.

Chorus 1:
       C
I have chosen you
           F               C
There's no need to run away.
       C
I have chosen you
           F                 G
Why do you doubt the words I say.
Em                       F                  G
Through it all I've been right by your side.
F                   G                C
Ask me and you will not be denied.

Verse 2:
       C                   G             Am             Em
Like a slave who wears the collar of a hard and cruel man
          F                G                    C
And is convinced that he deserves the treatment given.
C             G                 Am            Em
Tortured to believing nothing's ever going to change
               F                G            C
Till you've forgotten there was ever more to living.
       G                  G
As you struggle with your load
    Am              Am
The messengers come down the road
        G               G            C
And the slaver flees in fear as he beholds them.
     G                     G
They break your chains and set you free
   Am              Am
To stand amazed in liberty
       F                  D                 G
And at last they give the word that God has told them.

Chorus 2:
       C
I have chosen you
      F
And I will not turn you down,
       C
I have chosen you
         F              G
You were born to wear a crown.
     Em                F             G
I'll give you what you need to carry on
     F               G                 C
Till all that stands opposed to you is gone.


Bridge:
  F                                     C
I know the devil's cut you down and made you feel so small.
     G                               C
I've seen your desperation with your back against the wall.
    F                            C         G     Am
But I'll be here beside you even if you've given in.
Dm              Am              F               G
Till you see My love for you is all you need to win.


Chorus 3:
       C
I have chosen you
      F
And I will not turn you down,
       C
I have chosen you
         F              G
You were born to wear a crown.
     Em                F             G
I'll give you what you need to carry on
     F                 G               C
Till all that stands opposed to you is gone.
       C
I have chosen you
                F
There's no need to run away.
       C
I have chosen you
           F                 G
Why do you doubt the words I say?
Em                  F                  G
Through it all I've been right by your side
F              G                         C
Ask me and you will not be denied.
