Meaning & Inspiration
I Choose You Again is a very short song of recommitment to the Lord. The two lines say that the singer chooses Him again and again and that He means so much to the singer, addressing Him as dear Lord. The repetition in the first line suggests a decision that has to be made over and over, rather than a single moment.
The idea of choosing God anew echoes Joshua 24:15, where the people are told to choose whom they will serve, and Deuteronomy 30:19-20 on choosing life and holding fast to the Lord. Psalm 73:25-26 expresses the same sense that nothing on earth compares with Him, and Lamentations 3:22-23 speaks of mercies that are new every morning, which fits a commitment renewed daily. Because the lyrics are brief, the song depends on a choir and congregation to repeat the line quietly as a prayer, and its tone is simple, personal and devoted.
