Placed in Tennessee

HE placed me in Tennessee

Of the USA as the place of my birth

Where I have known big city life

And small-town life, and my living

Has afforded me both tears and mirth

But through all of my trials and

Through all of my cares, HE

Has let me know that I have

Never walked alone because

HE has always been as near as

My built-in telephone where HE

Has let me know that, for me

HE is always there, prayer.

 

HE has shown me HIS love in so

Many ways that I can not tell them all

But I can tell you enough to let you know

That HE is a caring FATHER, WHO

Though at times, I felt that I had lost all

Never let me fall.

 

You see, HE gave me favor in my neighborhood

Among the adults and my peers alike

HE rocked me during the loss of my

Daddy from my life by making my

Momma be strong enough as a Christian

To teach me that I had a FATHER

WHO was never going to abandon me

No matter what was happening in my life

Whether toils, hard school work

Lack of pretty clothes like the other

Kids had, lack of physical amenities

That other kids enjoyed

But through all of the negatives

I got to see Romans 8:28 employed

In that, HE gave me favor in others eyes

So that most of my needs and

A lot of my wants were supplied.

 

What do I mean by the statement above

I mean that I got to see the evidence

Of HIS continual love

In that, HE always made a way...©
