The Last To Be Chosen



Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Steve Millikan and Ray Boltz



Today in the school yard

They were choosing up sides

And 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

And He saw what happened

There on the ground

And 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



Now don't be discouraged

And don't be afraid

God is not worried

With the choice that He made

Others may laugh or doubt at the start

But He sees what's there in your heart



CHORUS



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 (repeat)
