The Last to be chosen

Today in the school yard, they’re choosing up sides.

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

He saw what happened there on the ground

The  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

 

Don’t be discouraged, Don’t be afraid

God is not worried with the choice that he made

Others may laugh, and doubt at the start

But he sees what’s there in your heart

 

Chorus (last time through)

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
