about
Arie Luster is a devoted child of God. Like so many others, her body has been touched by cancer. She has stared down some trying and scary times. And they are not over
In addition to the physical ailments, Arie has been dealt crippling financial blows in her fight to live and flourish.
But you could never tell with her smile. Or with the joyful way she carries herself. Or with the passionate pursuit of her dreams. Arie has made the choice to live for the Lord even with her physical and emotional realities.
She represents so many others who stare death in the face and declare God is still good. This song is dedicated to Arie and all those who soldier on for Christ. All of the proceeds will go to covering Arie's rising medical costs and to help ensure her and her son have what they need.
This song is also to encourage and inspire any saint who is dealing with disease and illness, who are having their faith attacked with some heavy stuff. We pray you choose to live for God through it all

"I Choose" lyrics
INTRO (Teech)
This song is dedicated to everybody in the struggle
To those dealing with physical ailments like cancer
But who choose to continue to keep you first Lord
And that rely on your promises, and that choose to live victoriously
FIRST VERSE (A. Doulos)
We deal with infectious diseases
Sneezing, wheezing
And unable to effectively breathe because of trees and seasonal breezes
We create recipes and take great risks
To try to ease pain and regain homeostasis
We face common sickness with faith and conviction
But what if you was faced with a sickness that could quickly erase your existence
Like cancer and afflictions
And the only answer the physician can find to give is that you only have a fragment of time to live
Yeah, it hit my pops but he was safe because of operating
But what about the case where the cancer just wouldn't stop invading
Like the kind that took my uncle and made my auntie a widow
She got more will than Willow but keeps weeping on her pillow
Oh feeling despair, kneeling in prayer
Hoping that anybody has a few verses of encouragement that they willing to share
Then here comes the Word, and it calms the nerves
Reminding us to fight because the Righteous Christ is the One we serve
HOOK
Giving grace to God for every day I wake up (I wake up)
And I'm living out my purpose 'til my day comes (my day comes)
I choose (I choose)
I choose (I choose)
I choose to live for you
And every day I'm looking forward (looking forward)
Standing on the promises of your Word (your Word)
I choose (I choose)
I choose (I choose)
I choose to live for you
Yeah
He gives back vision to the blind
Turns liquid into wine and malignant to benign
Yes, yes
He gives back vision to the blind
Turns liquid into wine and malignant to benign
Yes, yes
VERSE TWO (NufCed)
I'm ready to live
I be on my sacrifice like I'm ready to give
Every day my life's a testimony of my faith
So I push it to the limit while you wait for your escape
Ooooooooh, that's how I do it
Rocking with the covenant 'cause I know He'll see me through it
Battles belong to the Lord so I ain't gotta lose it
It's your life to live, it's only one you gotta choose it
HOOK
THIRD VERSE (Teech)
These are the wonder yeard and adolescents looking in the mirror
Approaching is the peaceable kingdom, it's getting nearer
For now, we dwelling in the flesh, an unfixable mess
Susceptible to dilemmas that cause us worth and stress
Why do people get cancer? Lord please give the answer
We petition everyday but their condition stays the same
You said we can move mountains if we pray in Jesus name
Anticipating that your aiding, ridding all the pain
Just a little chemotherapy and let God be your therapy
That comforts when your aching and that chemo got ya shaking
So you fake it 'til you make it even though you wanna cry
We don't understand why that's why we looking to the sky
It's only temporary. His grace is sufficient
The Lord can heal anyone with cancerous conditions
He's the Great Physician, a surgeon on a mission
Stitches up the broken heart 'cause he's the best Clinician
Hook
Hook repeat
