NoBody Knew just What ta DO with Me; I Didn’t Fit the Common, Normal Mold; noBody Knew how Useful I could Be; the Working World seemed Quite unKind and Cold. I Ran as Hard as I then Could, aWay, and I beLieved I wasn’t Worth a Hoot, but, Folks, I’m Gassed to Be aLive today, ‘cause I know Love; my Life is Bearing FRUIT – BUT!... But IF YOU haven’t Met the Living Lord, and Think you’re Gonna Make it All aLone, and GO and LEAVE God’s Gift of Grace igNORED, you’ve Tried to Build withOut the CORnerStone!

So many words might Tire you Out, I Know, but If Yuh’ll Love, you’ll reap just what you Sow!
