You Didn't Beat M e You didn't be me, Mo sir'ree There was an enemy in my camp Sickle Cell thinks he's an undefeated champ I've got news for him today Jesus came in and took me away You can't hurt me or make me sick Jio ly Ghost got you with a one, two kick Yes I 'm sassy, yes I 'm gay Your reign in my life is over this very day I'm not limping or holding my arm Jesus has me dressed up and adorned 1 can run and 1 can skip 1 can even dance and do a dip fam ily and friends help me sing for joy more
I 'm at peace to my core Remember some o f the things 1 lived by Call each other, pray and love one another
Then you won't have time to cryl

Music From My Heart

~ 1 3 l startedplaying musicfrom my heart

=

The day that God released mefrom mother's nurturingpart

mm-

Thefatherly hands that held me as a child

8" "

Made me want to dance free and wild

They made me know that I could do anything I wanted to --

-- . As long as God was the center and Jesus example to ensue You helped me be strong when life made me weak Youplayed the music that made my heart skip beat Brothers you played the rhythmic sound You were the base that boomed all around

"z

Piano and violin wasjust a sample o f my role

*77"

Just to remindyou I was an ole soul

Together youfilled my life with challenges and love

You gave my music the treble that rang all above.

-g ;

The symphony was complete with families and friends

S Jz

But the ultimate crescendo was God's in the end.
