B.Reith - My Story[00:00:01]
My story is a simple one to tell[00:00:09]
Popped out my momma's tummy 26th of January winter up in Milwaukee[00:00:12]
Twenty minutes later peein' on the doctor's shirt[00:00:15]
Pops makin' jokes sayin' Look doc it works![00:00:18]
So the tell me anyways, I can't remember anything before pre-K[00:00:21]
It's all blurred together and each day my memory fades like worn leather[00:00:25]
But what I can recall is sweeter than warm weather with a cool breeze[00:00:28]
Saturdays were heaven, wake up watch cartoons from 7 straight to 11[00:00:32]
Then it's outside to play whatever sport was in season[00:00:36]
My cousins they were older so that made me the weak one[00:00:39]
But it didn't stop me, all we did was play we made up our own games[00:00:42]
Rolled up socks and faked like[00:00:45]
They were hand grenades makin' forts out of couches[00:00:47]
Mom would come home mad at how messed up the house was[00:00:49]
I stayed out of trouble most of the time[00:00:52]
But when I got out of line Pops would smack my behind[00:00:54]
The wonder years are over now somehow I'm fully grown[00:00:57]
Still I fully know I didn't make it this far on my own[00:01:00]
There is no way to count all of the mistakes I have made[00:01:02]
And I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Your grace[00:01:07]
And you're still here with me, You never gave up after all this time[00:01:12]
And I owe it all to You, You're the one that got me through[00:01:18]
You wrote my story[00:01:23]
Looking back on high school I see how foolish that I really was[00:01:23]
I thought I was the coolest dude there ever was[00:01:27]
'Til I went off to college and learned nobody there even knew who I was[00:01:30]
It all taught me that I fall short[00:01:33]
Like junior year when they cut me even though I left it all on the court[00:01:35]
I had to learn how to fail and to fall[00:01:39]
So I could learn how to get up shake the dust off walk and stand tall[00:01:41]
Learn how to call on the one who's been there through it all[00:01:44]
I remember when I got the phone call[00:01:47]
Freshman year in Virginia, my grandfather passed away[00:01:49]
Eight years after my grandmother guess he couldn't wait[00:01:52]
To see her on the other side at the funeral I cried[00:01:54]
So hard I never knew I'd hurt that bad inside[00:01:57]
But over time wounds heal and all that's remembered[00:01:59]
Is the love that we shared while together forever[00:02:02]
There is no way to count all of the mistakes I have made[00:02:05]
And I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Your grace[00:02:10]
And you're still here with me, You never gave up after all this time[00:02:15]
And I owe it all to You, You're the one that got me through[00:02:20]
You wrote my story[00:02:25]
This is my story and I wouldn't change a thing[00:02:37]
I was put here for a purpose this was written by a King[00:02:39]
Was carefully designed, hand-crafted and made[00:02:41]
By the One who's never made a mistake[00:02:44]
I want to give all it takes from here on out to make up for lost time[00:02:46]
But what's done is done and I can't press rewind[00:02:49]
And all of my regrets are chasin' me from behind[00:02:52]
But the future's unwritten I'm racin' towards the finish line[00:02:55]
So from here on out everyday counts[00:02:57]
I know Your grace meets me no matter what the amount[00:03:00]
Despite that I'm hard-hearted, You gave me a clean slate[00:03:02]
And promised that You'd finish what you've started[00:03:05]
And even though a four minute long song can barely scratch the surface[00:03:07]
It's sure enough to show I'm far from perfect[00:03:10]
So thank You for the past, help me live in the present[00:03:12]
To prepare me for the future 'til my story ends[00:03:15]
