[Intro: Soft grand piano, gentle fiddle] Lord Jesus... Here I am again. [Verse 1] Jesus, here I am again, With a prayer I can barely speak. You know the weight inside my chest, You see the strength that's leaving me. You're still the same through every age, Your faithful promise still holds true. When fear is all that I can hear, Let mercy lead me back to You. [Pre-Chorus: Strings begin to rise] I never walked these storms alone, Though sometimes that's how it seemed. When I had nothing left to hold, Your love was holding me. [Chorus: Full band, warm choir harmonies] Still I choose You, Jesus, When the night won't let me sleep. When the answers haven't found me, And the mountain looks too steep. Through the waiting, through the hurting, You're the One I'm holding to. With a trembling hallelujah, Jesus, still I choose You. [Verse 2: Intimate lead, acoustic guitar and piano] No whispered prayer escapes Your heart, No wound is hidden from Your sight. I bring this cancer to You, Lord, And ask for healing in my life. Give me a glimpse beyond this fear, Give me the strength for one more day. Take these small steps and make them count; Be near with every breath I pray. [Pre-Chorus: Fiddle answers, choir slowly enters] When worry crowds this weary heart, And peace feels far beyond my reach, Remind me who You are, my Lord; Speak louder than the fear in me. [Chorus: Broader strings, stronger choir] Still I choose You, Jesus, When the night won't let me sleep. When the answers haven't found me, And the mountain looks too steep. Through the waiting, through the hurting, You're the One I'm holding to. With a trembling hallelujah, Jesus, still I choose You. [Bridge: Drop to piano and lead vocal, build gradually] Let Your peace rise up within me, Let Your love put fear to flight. Work Your healing in this body; Stay beside me through the night. Not because my faith is fearless, Not because I understand, But because You bore the cross, Lord, I can trust Your nail-scarred hands. [Final Chorus: Full orchestra, soaring choir, powerful lead] Still I choose You, Jesus, When the night won't let me sleep. When the answers haven't found me, And the mountain looks too steep. Through the waiting, through the hurting, You're the One I'm holding to. With a stronger hallelujah, Jesus, still I choose You. [Outro: Choir softens, piano and solo fiddle] With each breath You give me, Lord, With each morning's mercy new... Jesus, still I choose You. Still I choose You. [End: Gentle resolved piano chord]
