He Saw the Worst... God Saw the Best

He saw the worst in me, 
But God saw that I was lovely. 
He said that I was ugly, 
But God made me beautiful. 
He never provided for me, 
But God gave me the tools , 
To use to fulfill my destiny. 

He only physically, 
Planted a seed. 
God wove me, 
Inside the womb. 
He nearly drove me, 
To an early tomb. 
But God made soldier, 
And healed , 
The war wounds. 

This soldier has a story, 
To tell. Of How my earthly, 
father, made my life a 
Living Hell. He did everything 
In his demonic powers for 
My attitude toward myself 
To be sour and for me to fail. 

God made me strong, 
In my weaknesses for me, 
To excel. I can say now that, 
All is well. He still wants me, 
But God won't let him win. 
He saw the worst in me, 
God said to Hell with the enemy. 


As He worked with me, 
And saw the best in me. 
he said I was dumb, 
And let me be around, 
Hardly anyone. 
The victory has been won. 
This is my testimony, 
The rest is history, 
Because my real Father, 
Saw the best in me.
