Still Chosen (Youth Choir Anthem)

Lyrics

Title: Still Chosen (Youth Choir Anthem)
Scriptures: Luke 1:72, Isaiah 14:1

[Intro – Solo]
They said our fathers wasted their chance,
But You still remember the promise You made to them.
That means You still got mercy for us too.

[Verse 1 – Solo + Choir Echo]
Grew up where the sirens sing at night, (all night)
Daddy disappeared, mama tryna hold tight. (hold tight)
I heard, “Y’all cursed, y’all too far gone,”
Like our whole bloodline can’t belong.
But Luke said You perform the mercy promised before,
To our fathers, yeah, You open that door.
You remember Your covenant, didn’t throw it away,
So their grandkids still got grace today.

[Pre-Chorus – Choir]
You didn’t break the deal, we did,
But You still got love for the kids.
From Abraham down to this block,
Your mercy still run through our flock.

[Chorus – Youth Choir]
He will have mercy on Jacob,
He will yet choose Israel.
Set us back in our own land,
Even when life feel like hell.
He performs the mercy promised,
Remembers His holy word.
We’re still chosen, still His people,
Let that truth be heard.

[Verse 2 – Youth Problems]
They say we nobodies, locked in the system,
Stats on a page, they don’t wanna listen.
Section 8, food stamps, same old story,
They never see kings when they look at our glory.
But Isaiah said He’ll yet choose us again,
Set Jacob up, not leave us in chains.
Even strangers that fear His name,
Gon’ cleave to the house, stand under that same flame.

[Hook – Call & Response]
Leader: To every kid from a broken home,
Choir: You’re still part of the promise.
Leader: To every youth that feels unknown,
Choir: He remembers His covenant.
Leader: From the hood to the ends of the earth,
Choir: Mercy still moving on Jacob’s birth.

[Bridge – Spoken over soft choir]
“Luke 1:72 –
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers,
and to remember His holy covenant.”
“Isaiah 14:1 –
For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob,
and will yet choose Israel…”
If He remembered them,
He remembers you.

[Vamp – Drive]
Choir: Still chosen, still chosen,
Leader: Even when we feel broken.
Choir: Still chosen, still chosen,
Leader: Covenant word still spoken.
Choir: Mercy promised, He performs it,
Leader: Our whole bloodline can’t ignore it.

[Tag – Unison]
From our fathers to these streets we roam,
Mercy found us and is leading us home.
