The Last To Be Chosen
The Last To Be Chosen
Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Steve Millikan and Ray Boltz
Today in the school yard
They were choosing up sides
And one child just stood there
With tears in his eyes
He'd been there before
And everyone knew
He'd be alone
When the choosing was through
But high in the heavens
The Father looked down
And He saw what happened
There on the ground
And angels rejoiced
When He said to His son,
Watch what I do with this one
chorus:
The last to be chosen
Are the first He will call
And what He does through them
Will amaze one and all
It won't be the hero
That carries the ball
The last to be chosen
Are the first He will call
Now don't be discouraged
And don't be afraid
God is not worried
With the choice that He made
Others may laugh or doubt at the start
But He sees what's there in your heart
chorus
The last to be chosen
Are the first He will call
And what He does through them
Will amaze one and all
Standing for Jesus when others may fall
The last to be chosen
Are the first He will call (repeat)
