Alive
Sharon Brown 1974 (Brooklyn)
The devil wanted me dead but God wanted me alive.
When i was born, i had to have a blood transfusion, I almost died.
My life has a purpose and meaning.
God doesn't want me to die, on him I'm leaning.
On my knees I pray, Each and every day
I Praise God's name Daily, I know he won't fail me.
Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh is his name.
Every day God is the same.
He made us from the dust.
In him you to can Trust
God in the flesh.
his name is Jesus.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
We are who he died for.
