I was born in Tennessee
Late July humidity
Doctor said I was lucky to be alive
I’ve been trouble since the day that I got here
Trouble till the day that I disappear
That’ll be the day that I finally get it right
Chorus
There is hope for me yet
Because God won’t forget
All the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see
He’s not finished with me yet
I never really was that good in school
I talked too much, broke the rules
Teacher thought I was hopeless fool alright
I don’t know how but I made it through
It’s one of those things that you’ve gotta do
But I always had a knack for telling the truth
Chorus
Still wondering why I’m here
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh, He’s up to something
And the farther on I go
I’ve seen enough to know
That I’m, not here for nothing
He’s up to something
So now’s my time to be a man
Follow my heart as far as I can
No telling where I’m ending up tonight
I never slow down or so it seems
But singing my heart it’s one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight
Chorus

What a fantastic and inspiring song to me. I was diagnosed with brain cancer 10yrs ago when my son Marc was 4 months old. The The Oncologist told me there was no guarantee that I would be alive to see him starting school (i.e. when he was 5yrs old.) He is now 11yrs old. We are regularly told by Christian friends & church elders that my wife Nicola, son Marc and me are a great encouragement to others in our church in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland.. The words of this song are very relevant to us. He’s not finished with us yet!
