WHO AM I?
THE WORST, MAN OF NO CLASS DETERMINED TO SUBMIT
HUMBLED, ONLY TO EAT OF THE CRUMBS FALLING FROM MY MASTERS TABLE
NEVER TO DREAM, NOT TO HOPE FOR A NEW DAWN
BUT NOW, ONLY NOW, HAVE THE TABLES TURNED
OUT OF DUST, OUT OF A DUNGHILL, I AM RAISED
LIKE A BARREN WOMAN IS MADE A JOYFUL MOTHER
THE LORD BESTOWS FAVOR AND HONOR
IN HIM I WAS CHOSEN
FOR MY REJOICING HAS COME IN THE MORNING
HAVING BEEN PREDESTINED IN ACCORDANCE TO HIS PLAN AND WILL
HE HAS SATISFIED THE NEEDS OF MY SUN-SCORCHED LAND
I'M ONLY HUMBLED TO BE FAVORED, NOT DESERVEDLY
I DO, BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO EVEN BETTER
PEOPLE AS HONEST AS THE DAY IS LONG
VERY LOYAL LIKE THEY ARE ROYAL
THEY ARE WISE LIKE THEY COME FROM THE EAST
WELL INFORMED CONFIDENT MEN
PEOPLE WHOSE EVERY FACULTY IS A MERIT
HUMANS SO WORTHY OF EVERYTHING THAT I DESERVE NOTHING
THIS IS NOT BY MIGHTY NOR BY POWER
HE JUST HAS ESTABLISHED MY NAME TO MAKE IT GREATER
I AM LIFTED BY THE SPIRIT AND BY GRACE
AND THIS IS THE GIFT OF GOD THAT I RISE.
