That's Why I Choose to Love

That's Why I Choose to Love is a song commissioned for the University of Arkansas Children's Choir by Dr. Rosephany Powell. This song is a special addition to our repertoire this year. The text of this song is meant to encourage people to love and care for one another in spite of our differences. Our class will discuss important questions about why hate exists and what we can do to create peace, hope, and love in our world.

Lyrics:

I choose to love my fellow man.
Black, white, or brown with him I stand.
Hate always hurts the one who hates.
That's why I choose to love.

Every man is my brother for blood's running through his veins.
It matters not how he's colored.
I should still love him just the same.
That's why I choose to love.
