Hit Me With Your Best Shot

C'mon you ole devil, take your best shot! You kidding? That's it? Is that all you got? I know where I'M going; He's saved me a spot I'll warn you once more in case you forgot You're messing with one of God's children I'm CHOSEN, you see and that is my role You WILL NOT BEAT ME if that is your goal You may take my body but can't touch my soul Go back and gnaw in your fiery red hole! You're messing with one of God's children I'm STRONG from the trials that I have been through The fears and the tears from paying what's due I've felt His wrath and His grace and love too I've seem much tougher than the likes of you! You're messing with one of God's children I'm bald as a baby's naked behind My chest is a wreck but you won't hear ME whine! My looks ain't the book on how I'm defined You might wanna bear this thought in your mind You're messing with one of God's children Go bug someone else you think you might scare! Someday I'll sit back in my rocking chair With those who I love, laughing at despair If not, that's okay, I'm in my Lord’s care You're messing with one of God's children! *Dedicated to my daughter who is a breast cancer survivor
