IN MY EARLY DAYS I WAS CUT DOWN IN MY PRIME,
NOT FROM A SENTENCE NOR DEATH OR CRIME.
IT WAS MY BACK THAT WAS HURT THAT DAY.
AND AS MUCH AS I PRAY IT WON'T GO AWAY.
I HAVE TAKEN MANY PILLS TO TAKE AWAY MY MISERY.
I HAVE CRIED OUT TO GOD AND HIS MINISTRY.
WHAT AM I TO LEARN FROM ALL THIS PAIN.
WHY ME, WHY SO YOUNG, I CAN'T EXPLAIN.
I HAVE SAT ALONE AT NIGHTS WAITING.
CRYING ALONE, GOD I'M STILL PRAYING.
I KNOW IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE.
I'M WAITING FOR ONE TO COME MY WAY.
YEAR AFTER YEAR, IT'S SEEM TO BE MY CROSS TO BEAR.
GOD ONLY KNOWS WHY, BUT SOME DAY I WON'T CARE.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I WILL BE WITH GOD SOMEDAY,
AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE PAIN TO COME MY WAY,
I WON'T BE SAD OR AFRAID TO GO.
BECAUSE IT'S A FAR BETTER PLACE FOR ME TO KNOW.
NO MORE PAIN, OR TEARS WILL I CRY.
BEAUTY WILL TAKE THE PLACE FOR ME INSIDE,
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY THAT THE LORD COMES FOR ME.
NO MORE SORROW AND PAIN, NOT IN MY LIFE TO SEE.
I WILL BEAR THE CROSS UNTIL THAT DAY.
GOD HAD ONE TOO, A MUCH HARDER ONE I MUST SAY,
HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, JUST FOR OUR SINS,
WHAT A SACRAFICE, THAT PAIN IS HARD TO MEND,
NO I WOULDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP MY SON.
BUT, FOR THE LORD, HIS WILL SHALL BE DONE.
SO I WILL CONTINUE ON THIS EARTH AND WAIT,
TILL THE DAY THAT MY LORD, MY SOUL HE WILL TAKE.
NO MORE BARE, NO MORE PAIN,
TO BE IN HEAVEN, I WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN.
GOD HAS MANY LESSONS FOR US TO LEARN,
I THINK THAT I KNOW WHAT WAS HIS CONCERN.
DON'T TAKE FOR GRANTED THE LIFE YOU HAVE RECEIVED.
MANY HAVE IT WORSE THAN YOU AND ME.
NO MORE CRYING, AND ASKING GOD WHY.
DON'T BE SELFISH, CHILD OF MINE.
SOME DAY YOU'LL BE WITH ME AND ALL WILL BE GRAND.
JUST ASK FOR ME, AND I'LL COME TAKE YOUR HAND,
SO THE LESSON THAT I HAVE LEARNED TODAY
DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF, GOD IS LEADING THE WAY,
SO MANY MORE OF GOD'S CHILDREN HAVE IT WORSE THAN I.
SO WHEN I HELP THEM, I FEEL BETTER, I CANNOT LIE.
HELPING THOSE THAT ARE IN NEED MORE THAN ME,
MAKES A DIFFERANCE IN MY OWN LIFE YOU SEE.
MY REWARDS WILL BE WAITING FOR ME SOMEDAY.
THE DAY I GO TO HEAVEN, AND LIVE A BETTER WAY.
