Lyrics
Mmmmmm hmmm hmmmmm
All of this work that I have in my hands trying so hard to carry out your plan
But this world is so cold mmm
Living in a dry land
You made us the salt of the earth so why are we so bland in need of seasoning and an outpouring of more of you
I just wanna help so tell me what to do
I know that many are called but I wanna be chosen
There's a big difference it's not about recognition
Choose me
Use me
I know on the outside I don't look like much but with your touch I'll be better if you choose me
Send me
I don't care about who knows my name just want my words to bring you the fame
I'll go...
Moses lacked eloquent speech but you sill chose him
David tended sheep but he slayed a giant
Because of you Joseph went from the pit into a grand palace
You use the less qualified to show your greatness
So here I am
Many are called but I wanna be chosen
There's a big difference
it's not about recognition
Choose me
Use me
I know on the outside I don't look like much
But with your touch I'll be better if you
Choose me lord
Send me
I don't care about who knows my name just want my words to bring you the fame
Choose me, use me
I know on the outside I don't look like much but with your touch I'll be better
Choose me
Send me
I don't care about who knows my name just want my words to bring you the fame
Choose me, use me
I know on the outside I don't look like much but with your touch I'll be better
Choose me
Send me

Meaning & Inspiration
“Choose Me” is a prayer of availability rather than a request for recognition. The speaker acknowledges limitations, yet asks to be used, sent, and shaped by God’s touch. Images of salt that has lost its seasoning and a dry land give the opening a sense of spiritual need. The response is not self-promotion, but a willingness to serve so that God receives the honor.
Biblical examples give the song its shape. Moses’ speech, David’s shepherding, and Joseph’s pit all present ordinary weakness or lowly circumstances as no barrier to divine service. The repeated plea to be chosen and sent also recalls Scripture’s language of calling and commission. The result is a clear, humble declaration that usefulness in God’s service depends on His grace, not public prominence.
