There is a modern hymn, written by Stuart Townend, that never fails to move me when I listen to it. I'm not sure the time when I first heard it, but I do remember a particular time of commitment for me, when it was especially moving.
Our church in Blacksburg had an Good Friday communion service, and we sang this song. Somehow the words reached down into my soul and just pulled the emotion out. I was not able to sing, but just listen. The melody is haunting and the words powerful and true.

When I hear and see the song on this video, truly see and hear, I feel the loving nature of God, and the fact that He chose to draw near to me in this is beyond believable.
Joshua's words to the Israelite people in Joshua 24:15 tell them to choose this day who they will serve, but as for him and his family, they will serve the Lord.
How can I not make this choice in the light of all God has done for me?
