I'M DIFFERENT

I maybe poor as you can see
Am not as pretty as those I meet
My clothes are old and am in need
My feet are bare and sometime bleed
My hair is nappy, I have no perm
My job is hard sweat fills my brows
The pay is small, can't feed us all
But I know a man who answers my calls

This winter was long, I lost my heat
My children are young, we have no meat
My husband is gone but not from this earth
My heart is heavy, sometimes I thirst
The world has turned it's back on us
They wait in vain for the blowing of my dust
My love for him has never changed
I know a man who's in charge of all things

To be so poor and multiple needs
I know one day he will answer my plea
Am blessed beyond what you can see
My God has given me all my needs

So don't look down on poor little me
My God in heaven has set me free
He's lifted me off of my bending knees
and showered me with blessing only I can see.
