Story
of
my
life
Mm
mmm
Bare
feet
on
a
dusty
road,
No
uniform,
but
I
carried
hope,
Empty
pockets,
empty
plate,
But
mama
said, "
My
child,
just
wait,
Jehovah
sees,
He
knows
your
pain." ***_
From
the
dust,
You
lifted
me,
When
there
was
nothing
left
to
eat,
No
fees,
no
shoes,
but
I
believed,
Jehovah,
You
allowed
it,
You
saw
me
through.
[Chorus] Chalk
in
hand,
no
school
fees
paid,
Sent
home
many,
many
days,
Others
had,
but
I
had
none,
Still
I
studied
under
the
sun,
Mama
prayed,
Jehovah
heard. _***

Chorus] *[
Verse 3 -
University]*
Campus
came,
but
money
gone,
No
food,
no
rent,
still
pressing
on,
Tuition
piled,
balance
due,
I
didn't
know
what
I
would
do,
But
Jehovah,
You
kept
me
strong.
No
suit,
no
gown
to
wear
that
day,
No
clearance,
yet
momma
said, "
My
son,
you
must
go,
stand
in
that
crowd,"
She
held
my
hand
so
proud,
Borrowed
gown
for
a
photo,
One
picture,
one
moment,
a
lifetime
of
hope,
Mama
stood
with
me,
in
the
audience
we
stood. *[
Soft
Chorus /
Outro]*
Now
I'm
waiting,
years
go
by,
Pushing,
praying,
asking
why,
No
job
yet,
but
I
still
believe,
One
day
my
time
will
come,
Because
Jehovah,
You
allowed
it,
You
will
see
me
through,
Mama,
your
son
made
it,
Jehovah
saw
us
through.
Mama,
your
son
made
it,
Jehovah
saw
us
through.
Mama,
your
son
made
it,
Jehovah
saw
us
through.
