Lyrics
Verse 1
Before we came here we all lived in heaven
With Heavenly Father and Jesus His Son
It's where They taught us to choose good from evil
To be prepared for the battle to come
For Satan tried to destroy us forever
To make us turn from the things we were taught
But nothing can keep us from choosing Jesus
For we loved the plan of God
Chorus
And we will choose Him again
For He's our Savior and friend
He'll help and guide us each day
And He will show us the way
To be the best us we possibly can
Oh we will choose Him
We will choose Him again
Verse 2
And now we're on Earth to prove we'll be faithful
Keep His commandments and follow His ways
For we're still fighting for good over evil
Not with a sword but with courage and faith
And we will rise up and stand with our Savior
Forever true to the things we've been taught
And nothing can keep us from choosing Jesus
For we love the plan of God
Chorus (Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Choose Him Again" describes a premortal life spent with Heavenly Father and Jesus, describing that early setting as a place of learning to distinguish good from evil in preparation for an ongoing spiritual conflict. That framing treats present choices as a continuation of decisions the song describes as already made once before.
Its chorus repeats a simple, resolute decision, choosing Jesus again, naming him directly as Savior and friend who guides daily life and helps become the best version of oneself. That repeated choice, framed as continuous rather than one-time, ties present faithfulness to a decision the song describes as originally made in a prior, heavenly setting.
Rooted in Latter-day Saint children's music tradition, the song functions as a simple statement of ongoing loyalty to Christ, describing present life on earth as an opportunity to prove faithfulness through courage and faith rather than through the sword imagery used to describe the earlier, premortal conflict.
