Gospel/Christian Bible-based songs
Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song
The lyrics are in the language of the King James Bible era (circa ?). When I was composing this song, I was hearing it using words similar to what one encounters when reading a King James version of the Bible.
Lyrics
Chorus Why me, O blessed Saviour? Why hast thou chosen me? Many multitudes there be; In me what virtue dost thou see? Why me, O blessed Saviour? Why hast thou chosen me? Verse 1 Disdain and scorn were Matthew’s lot When You called him, he tarried not. To the poor and outcast You did come Of such as they were, I am one. Verse 2 Ten men You cleansed of leprosy Only one returned to thank thee May I be found to give You glory For healing even me Verse 3 To one You told of living water With her whole city she shared Your offer May I, as she, a willing witness be To tell my neighbors of thee. Bridge To me has God shown wondrous grace Forever grateful I will be That Jesus Christ, in His great love, For His own redeemed me
