I Could Have Been
I could have been a doctor to help you when you're ill
Or maybe an accountant to assist you with your bills
I could have been a dentist to give you a great smile
Or I could have been an office clerk who would type and file
But I will never know what I was supposed to be
Although I wasn't really planned God had great plans for me
I could have been a pastor to share with you God's love
But now I am his angel and I'm watching from above
From the time God breathed in me my spirit was alive
You don't know how hard I tried I wanted to survive
But Jesus came and gathered me safely in His arms
I now live in His presence where no one can cause me harm
There's one more thing you need to know
Please hear me when I say
I forgive you for not wanting me and I pray for you each day
