1. His Chosen Path by Anonymous – Music by Hélène Levasseur

Helene Levasseur

He chose this path for me
Not by feeble chance
Nor hard relentless fate
But love his love has placed
The footsteps here
He knew the way was rough
And desolate
Knew my faith would sink
With fear yet tenderly
He whispered “Child I see
This Path is best for Thee”
God chose this path for me.

Chorus:
What needs’t thou more
This Sweeter truth to know
That along these strange
Bewildering ways
Over rocky steeps and
Where dark rivers flow
God’s loving arms shall
Bear me all my days
A few more steps and
I myself shall see
This path is best for me.

Though well He knew
Sharp thorns would tear my feet
Knew the troubles I would face
Knew all the hidden dangers
I would meet
Knew how my faith would
Falter day by day
And still He whispered
“Yeah my child I see
This path is best for thee”
He chose this path for me
God chose this path for me.

Chorus

Even while He knew
The fearful midnight gloom
My timid shrinking soul
Must travel through
These towering rocks
And phantoms grin
Would meet
The frightened view
Still came the whisper
“Yeah my child I see
This path was meant for thee”
God chose this path for me.

Chorus:
What needs’t thou more
This Sweeter truth to know
That along these strange
Bewildering ways
Over rocky steeps and
Where dark rivers flow
God’s loving arms shall
Bear me all my days
A few more steps and
I myself shall see
This path is best for me.
