Happy Birthday To Me

HAPPY 31ST BIRTHDAY TO ME
YES WE ALL KNOW JESUS 
SHED FOR ME WAY 
BACK AT CALVARY 
BUT ON FEBRUARY 12,1985
WAS THE DAY MY PARENTS GAVE BIRTH TO ME
NEVER WOULD I THINK I'D 
STILL BE HERE 
WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR 
I REMEMBER OVERCOMING CANCER
THAT NIGHT BEFORE THE BIOPSY 
I WAS SO SCARED 
BUT I REMEMBER 
WHEN MY COUSIN
DILLY CALLED WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL,
AND JESUS USED HER TO ME,"DON'T BE AFRAID!"
SO AKILAH MY DEAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
GET READY CUZ
FOR THE NEXT 31 YEARS
JESUS WILL CONTINUE 
TO MAKE ALL THINGS NEW
