A Note from Jennie:
THE CHOICE YOU MADE WAS ME was written Christmas of 1989 as a new believer while recovering from my own experience with teenage pregnancy. The song features the vocals of JJ Heller and the arranging of Don Hart and was recorded to help support unborn children and their mothers.
The fact that Jesus, King of the Universe, left throne and dominion, reduced Himself down to seed in the womb of a virgin girl, and suffered Himself to be born as a dependent baby, all so that I could identify with Him, reduces me to mush and lifts me to vibrant life.
This is my lullaby to the God who came in the gentlest of ways; the God who tenderly invited me, and invites us all to belong to Him...
The song is sung by artist, JJ Heller and was arranged by Don Hart.
Innocent, immense, fierce God
Made Yourself approachable
Made Yourself small
Impossible to fear,
yet fearsome indeed...
Clothed in familiar form
Recognizable to me
For love of me, You came
Left wealth, power, and throne
Dressed in newborn flesh
So I could hold and draw You close
You wanted me to touch You
And so You reached out
Traded all and became small
For Loves sake You came down
For Loves sake You came down
Jesus, You love me
Jesus, You love me
Extravagant Emmanuel
The choice You made was me…
