Choose for me, Lord: As a young waiting lady, there were many moments when I went looking for songs that could walk the journey with me. Songs that understood waiting. Songs that knew what it meant to trust God quietly and faithfully. I needed guidance for my university education, for what course to study, where to read, what books to pick up, the roommates I’d dwell with, what steps to take, who to marry etc. I knew I needed God’s direction for life itself.
In those days, the songs that spoke that language were mostly old hymns and older worship songs. It was so impossible for me to find contemporary songs that talked about simple obedience, patience, restraint, and trusting God’s Will and choice without rushing ahead of Him. I did not have the luxury of many options.
So sometimes, I formed simple songs myself in prayers. Other times, I returned again and again to the old songs God had led me to. Those songs truly walked with me. They walked with me in seasons of waiting, in decision making, and yes, very deeply in the area of marriage. They gave words to prayers I did not always know how to pray.
And even now, in marriage, the need for leading has not reduced. If anything, there are even more decisions to make. Almost every single day comes with choices that require wisdom, patience, and hearing God clearly. Leading does not end. It never has. Abraham was led. Moses was led. Their journeys were not centred on one season of life. Leading is meant to continue for a lifetime.
In moments like these, what you need is accompaniment. You need something that walks with you. Something that strengthens you. Something that helps push that prayer out of your mouth when words feel heavy. That is where this song was born.

ABOUT CHOOSE FOR ME, LORD
Choose for Me, Lord is a prayer song. It is a simple, sincere cry of surrender. It is the kind of song you return to when you are waiting, when you are unsure, when you know that your own wisdom is not enough. It is a song that says, “Father, You lead. I will follow.”
This is why I wrote Choose for Me, Lord. And I truly pray that it blesses you.
The song is now available on YouTube, and the link is below. On our YouTube channel, we are intentionally sharing spiritual songs that strengthen your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Songs that lead you into prayer. Songs that help you wait well. Songs that keep your heart aligned with God’s voice.
I pray that you are blessed by this song and by the work of Dynamite Films Africa, in Jesus’ name. Please remember to subscribe to the channel, and if you know others of like mind, feel free to share it with them.
God bless you.

CHOOSE FOR ME LORD: WAITING ON GOD’S WILL (ON YOUTUBE)
CHOOSE FOR ME LORD: WAITING ON GOD’S WILL (LYRICS)
[Verse 1]
My world says You do not choose anymore
They say my mind is enough to lead me
They say I know myself better than You
They say I should trust my own desires
But Father, I have come to confess
I do not know myself at all
I do not know what I want
I do not know where my steps will fall
[Chorus]
Choose for me, Lord
I cannot choose myself
I lay my will at Your feet
Your choice is always best
Choose for me, Lord
I quiet my anxious soul
If You do not lead my way
I cannot reach the end
[Verse 2]
You chose for Abraham when he knew not the land
You said go, and he followed Your voice
You led him step by step into promise
Obedience became his choice
You chose for Isaac upon the altar
You provided the lamb in time
You showed that surrender preserves life
When the plan is Yours and not mine
[Chorus]
Choose for me, Lord
I cannot choose myself
I lay my will at Your feet
Your choice is always best
Choose for me, Lord
I quiet my anxious soul
If You do not lead my way
I cannot reach the end
[Verse 3]
Your Son said He could do nothing alone
He waited on Your word and Your will
If Christ would not move without You
How can I trust my wisdom still
You gave Moses careful instruction
Every measure, every detail You spoke
I need that kind of guidance, Father
I need You to show me the road
[Chorus]
Choose for me, Lord
I cannot choose myself
I lay my will at Your feet
Your choice is always best
Choose for me, Lord
I quiet my anxious soul
If You do not lead my way
I cannot reach the end
[Bridge]
I submit my ambitions to You
I submit my plans and my name
Take this life out of my hands
Give me what You have written for me
Open my eyes, Father
Let Your design unfold
I do not want a future I made
I want the one You already wrote
[Final Chorus]
Choose for me, Lord
Your plan is life and peace
You know my end from my beginning
You see what I cannot see
Choose for me, Lord
Until Your will is done
I will wait until You speak
And I will move when You say, “Go”
