Who will you serve?
Will it be the ones who say, “Hey man, you know I’ve got your back?”
Or the One who gives abundantly, a life without lack?
The ones who say so much, but in action they have nothing to do
Or the One who brought you out of Egypt unto the land that He promised you?
Will it be the ones who are never satisfied, so they grumble and complain?
Or will it be the One who forgives and His love for you will forever remain?
Will it be the ones who curse you, but in your face they wear a smile?
Or will it be the One who is watching you and has kept you all the while?
Will it be the ones who are always unfaithful and bring upon so much strife?
Or will it be the One who died for you, just to save you from an endless life?
The One who has such wonderful thoughts of you to give you an expected end
The One that no matter what you do, in Him you will find a friend
The One who gives you manna to eat and to drink He casts out water from stone
Live by the words that come from His mouth, because you can not eat by bread alone
The ones who give you sight, what you’re looking at
Or the One who gives you vision, what you can see
Those other ones, they will do whatever they can to keep you from reaching your destiny
And those are the ones who look at you and say “It’s me and you, you know, ride or die”
But when you weigh your options, wouldn’t you want to give the One a try?
The One, your Comforter, Helper, Healer and Provider or those other ones, the liars, cheaters, thieves and deceivers, but the choice is yours, of course, so who am I to say?
But I ask you and I pray that you will CHOOSE YE THIS DAY.

I got into trouble with one of my past article that didn't have line breaks to break it up a little. It makes it easier to read on screen, and can add some impact e.g. After each comparison of each party we have to choose to serve.
