I was born in Tennessee, late July humidity,
Doctors said I was lucky to be alive
I've been troubled since the day that I got here,
Troubled to the day I disappear
That'll be the day that I finally get it right

There is hope, for me yet,
Because God won't forget,
All the plans he's made for me
I have to wait and see,
He's not finished with me yet,
He's not finished with me yet

I never really was that good in school;
Talked too much, broke the rules
My teachers thought I was a hopeless fool, all right.
I don't know how but I made it through,
It's one of those things that you gotta do
I always had a knack for telling the truth.

There is hope, for me yet,
Because God won't forget,
All the plans he's made for me
I have to wait and see,
He's not finished with me yet,
He's not finished with me yet

Still wonderin' why I'm here.
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh... He's up to something,
And the farther out I go,
I've seen enough to know
That I'm not here for nothin'...
He's up to somethin'.

So now's my time to be a man,
Follow my heart as far as I can
No tellin' where I'm ending up tonight
I never slow down (or so it seems),
But singing my heart is one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight.

There is hope, for me yet,
Because God won't forget,
All the plans he's made for me
I have to wait and see,
He's not finished with me yet,
He's not finished with me yet
He's not finished with me yet,
He's not finished with me yet

God, teach me to trust You
Teach me to follow You
Teach me about You
God, bless us
God, lead us
