I’ve Been Given Me

I’ll not count the failures

Of someone else to stand

Upon my future, giving

So-called Fate a hand,

Mine, the obligation

To be happy, well, and true

Mine, the joy and privilege

To make my story new

I got a present today!

Wrapped up in earthly clay.

It was almost too good for me to believe. . .

I was given me.

I see no failures looming

For truly, there are none

But in my thoughts existing

So I’ll let go and run!

I’ll run beyond horizons

And swim the raging Deep

Break through fabled limits,

Every chasm leap.

I got a present today!

Wrapped up in earthly clay.

It was almost to good for me to believe. . .

I was given me.

I don’t know how to use this

This gift to me from you,

But I know you can teach me

What I was made to do.

Love you like you love me

Pray hard, like I believe

You have all the answers,

And I’ve been given me!

Oh, I got a present today!

Wrapped up in earthly clay

It was almost too good for me to believe . . .

I was given me.
