He Created Me For a Reason
God Created Me For A Reason
By Valerie D. Staton
My mother did not initially want me
Tried to spontaneously abort me
But the God who sits on high would not let me die
He created me for a reason
My father never wanted me
Never provided for nor inquired about me
But the God who sits on high would not let me die
He created me for a reason
Ex-boyfriends, used me and abused me
disgraced me and verbally raped me
But the God that sits on high would not let me die
He created me for a reason
My mother and I were the best of friends
My father and I have made amends
God rescued me from the hands of my oppressors;
never to be oppressed again
The God that sits on high has not let me die
He created me for a reason...
