She Chose Me
Written by RaeLynn, Jimmy Robbins, Josh Thompson
Lyrics:
She was a bible belt lovin’ believer
With a 12-year ring on her hand
Got a little too close to the fire
And started burnin’ for another man
One thing lead to another
At a motel in Galveston Bay
They didn’t know it at the time
But more than just love was made
That’s one hell of a choice to make

If it went the other way nobody would have blamed her
Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her
She could have chosen one quick fix
To get her out of one big mess
She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story
Coulda kept her secret, gotten out before it
Changed her life, she could've changed her mind
And changed everything
But she chose me

She didn’t quite know how to tell him
You try to speak a truth like that
She didn’t know where to turn to
But she knew a way to take it back
She had it written into her schedule
Like just another thing to do
But that box never got checked off
And I’m sittin’ here livin’ proof

If it went the other way nobody would have blamed her
Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her
She could have chosen one quick fix
To get her out of one big mess
She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story
Coulda kept her secret, gotten out before it
Changed her life, she could've changed her mind
And changed everything
But she chose me
But she chose me, yeah

Me the daughter, me the sister
Me the dreamer with pigtails in pictures
Me the wife my husband loves
I’m just thankful because

If it went the other way nobody would have blamed her
Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her
She could have chosen one quick fix
To get her out of one big mess
She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story
Coulda kept her secret, gotten out before it
Changed her life, she could've changed her mind
And changed everything
But she chose me
She chose me

Had my son in 98. One week after my 18th birthday. I was constantly told to take care of "it". So, I took it literally and had him and took care of him. He is now getting ready to serve our country. I thank the Lord God always that I didn't do what they wanted me to do.

[Rampaigee]

So beautiful!! 😭😭😭

I was a believer in law school and knew I wasn’t living right having premarital sex. I sought advice from others and a guidance counselor told me it would be ok to be selfish and focus on my goals. I went to PP. They confirmed I was pregnant with urine test but couldn’t find anything on ultrasound. They said come back in two weeks for the abortion.

I never went back.

God worked on me.

My daughter is gonna be 3 this month. I went back and graduated law school.

She didn’t stop my dreams. She made them better. ❤️

I’m disabled. I’m autistic and I have a rare autoimmune disease. People on social media talk about “screening out” people like me, but we all deserve a chance. A disability doesn’t make you less deserving of life. I’m so thankful that my mother chose life for me and my sister. I’m thankful to have a Mom who held my hand when I was in the hospital, who didn’t tolerate strangers making ableist comments, who never gave up on me. I love you Mom💕

My baby girl became pregnant at 16 under horrible circumstances. And although I never believed in abortion..I went against my own soul and offered to take her. I thank her and God that she was so much wiser than I. She passed a few years later and her perfect little girl is what saved us. God I miss her. Thank you for this beautiful and courageous song. This is the strength women should aspire to.

[ciara]

My husband sent me this song. We had our baby girl when we were 17 and 18. Now we have 5 kids and have been married 11 years! I wouldn't change a thing! 💕

[johnmccray]

We were 15…we chose differently. I hate that I was a coward then. This song is beautiful. Breaks me down, but I hope it strengthens others to be more than I was.

[andrewpardini]

Imagine all the lives you saved with this song.. Angels are smiling over you. 🤍

[kademacneille]

As an adoptive father to two amazing daughters, I am so grateful that their birthmom chose to give my girls life. I am so grateful for them and can't imagine the world without them.

[katiegoodnite]

I'm from a small town. I got pregnant when I was 17. Most folks around here don't agree with abortion but there's also a lot of people that don't think to kindly of a young unmarried girl having a baby. I decided to keep my baby. The amount of judgment I got was so bad. For the longest time, I couldn't even go to Walmart without getting snarky comments and questions but I held my head high I was never ashamed of my baby. He's seven now and man he's such a blessing from God! It was so hard but I'd go through it all over again! ❤️

[faithlwiltsie]

I grew up strongly Christian...I was always told to wait until marriage and I thought I wanted that too. But one thing leads to another and I ended up pregnant at 19. I was so ashamed because now everyone would know what I did, and I was so guilty because it wasn’t fair I got pregnant when I didn’t want it and other women try and try but can’t conceive. I was scared because I have an autoimmune disease and I never planned on having kids for fear of giving it to them or for having a complicated pregnancy. I’m so thankful we chose life. My church and my family were so incredibly loving and supportive. At the time in my life I got pregnant I was going down a really dark road and I truly think God sent me a daughter to save me and lead me back to Him. I take heart it knowing that my biggest accomplishment may not be something I do, but someone I raise.

[mikeflinn]

I finally listened to the new album today, and this song really hit me. I was adopted and have never met my birth mother. All I know is that she was 15 when she had me, birth father was 20. I'll never know her, but I'm forever grateful that she chose to give me the gift of life. Truly remarkable song, thank you RaeLynn.

[beckyklepper]

Graduated high school with a baby on my hip. Best decision of my life, second to loving the Lord, is loving my kids.

[aprilqualls]

Most beautiful song, a mothers love, and nobody ever talks about how becoming a mother changed me, I met my daughter and my daughter met me and I met my old self and said bye to that person and said hello to the new person I became. Life is precious. Awesome song

[godsgospelgirl]

I hope the people who need this song see it. ❤ What beautiful, truthful lyrics. I get teary-eyed every time I hear it.

My birth mom was 17 when she got pregnant with me, and fortunately made the decision to give me up. I was raised by the most incredible, loving mom ever. God has a plan for all of us.

[stellathewin]

My birth mom was 22 when she had me. She had already had two boys before she found out she was pregnant again but this time with me. Her boys were 2 and 3 and she knew there was no way she was going to financially be able to afford the three of us. She kept her pregnancy hidden from her family and friends and decided to put me up for adoption. I’m so thankful she chose life. Now I’m a happy young woman with a fiancé and 2 1/2 weeks away from meeting my first born son🥰

[minadopaul]

Came here from watching Brett Cooper and Raelyn sing this. What a powerful and beautiful soul. Got a 43 year old mother of 4 in tears.❤

[kayteees]

This song made me cry. A very similar situation happened to my grandmother when she was pregnant with my mom. The only thing that kept my grandmother from aborting my mother was her religious beliefs. My grandmother traveled from Florida to New Hampshire to deliver my mom and put her up for adoption. Fast Forward 50 years- my mother is married to a loving husband and has given birth to five healthy children- me and my four younger brother.

My grandmother's choice to bring a life into this world has not only created me but the amazing family I have today.

[terriricketts]

Two scared kids at 13 had one beautiful daughter that grow up to be a mom as well I now have 2 beautiful grandkids!!! I'm so thankful for the decision I

That's one hell of a story and it takes a lot of guts in this day and age to put this out there
