I Did Not Freely Choose You

For 2020 I am reading the Moravian Daily Texts. Wednesday's reading included two verses of a song originally by Josiah Conder, and then altered by Charles P. Price, that merit pondering:

"Lord, I did not freely choose you
till by grace you set me free;
for my heart would still refuse you
had your love not chosen me.

"Now my heart sets none above you,
for your grace alone I thirst,
knowing well that if I love you,
you, O Lord, have loved me first."
