[Guitar Solo]
Verse 1
I’ve walked through lies, I’ve walked through pain,
Been stabbed by words again and again.
I’ve seen fake smiles, I’ve seen cold eyes,
Promises buried beneath the lies.
They tried to break the heart inside,
Turn my faith into my pride.
But every scar became a flame,
And I refuse to play that game.
Pre-Chorus
You can throw your stones,
You can curse my name.
But you will never make me
Become the same.
Chorus
I still choose love,
I still choose grace.
No matter how many scars
Life leaves on my face.
I’ve tasted betrayal,
I’ve carried the pain.
But I won’t let hatred
Run through my veins.
You can take my trust,
You can break my soul.
But you’ll never steal
The heart God made whole.

Verse 2
I’ve met betrayal wearing a friend’s disguise,
Heard the sweetest words hiding the darkest lies.
I’ve been left alone when I needed someone near,
Still I won’t surrender to anger or fear.
Because forgiveness isn’t weakness at all,
It’s standing again every time you fall.
It’s choosing the light when darkness calls,
And refusing to become these broken walls.
Chorus
I still choose love,
I still choose grace.
No matter how many scars
Life leaves on my face.
I’ve tasted betrayal,
I’ve carried the pain.
But I won’t let hatred
Run through my veins.
You can take my trust,
You can break my soul.
But you’ll never steal
The heart God made whole.
[Guitar Solo]
Bridge
I won’t answer hate with hate.
I won’t let revenge decide my fate.
The world may change, the seasons may fade,
But love is the choice I’ve already made.
Final Chorus
I still choose love,
I still choose peace.
Though the storms around me
Never seem to cease.
No betrayal, no lie,
No wound, no night
Can take away the fire
God placed inside.
And when my final road is done,
I want the world to say of me:
He was hurt a thousand times…
Yet he never forgot how to forgive,
And he never stopped loving.
