"Overcomer"

Who Am I-What Do I Let Define Me-

Who am I
What do I let define me

I might be sixty-four, you see
I might be a man, you see
I might be evil you won’t see
I might be kind this I’ll be
Who am I, and what do I let define me

I might be of African decent
I’m also 1/8th Creed Native American
I’m a Nebraskan, proud I am
Parents of Missouri and Oklahoma and…
I might be an American descendant
I might be Democrat or Independent
Who am I, and what do I let define me

I might be humane, from the human race
I am widower but married to Christ
For you see
What you may see is
You say who am I
I am A Follower of Christ
I am a Child of God
So when someone ask you who you are
Don’t display labels or pull out your calling card(s)
You see first you are His and He is yours
Everything else comes secondary….
What do you allow to define you?
Who am I, and what do I let define me
All humanity good/bad All people belong to GOD!
For you see
What you may see is
You say who am I
I am A Follower of Christ
I am a Child of God
