You Are Not

They said that I was a lost cause Then I heard their applause, Because many times I was used and then defeated I was also hurt and then cheated. Then indeed I thought I was a worthless blot, Then I heard a voice saying, "No! you're not" They said that my defeat was inevitable And never will I be at the Lord's table, I was then called more or less a waste of time Seemingly to them my life was a crime. Then I thought I was defeated from what I brought, Then I heard a voice saying, "No! you're not". What I did or said was called a wasted effort And all that there was, was deaf and hurt, I was always sent on a merry chase To bring laughter to my tormentors face. I thought I was lost from what I had sought, Then I heard a voice saying, "No! you're not". Then against me they all took a rod Then I finally gave my faith to God, I said no longer do I feel worries or distraught Then I heard a voice saying, "No! you do not". I had knew that there was something amiss, Then God said with a smile to the world, "Watch This"! Randy L. McClave
