Destiny

This is my destiny, I know

Yeah, mmm

Every fall and spring I smell this memory

I hear this voice just as clear as you do mine

Telling me

"Boy, why'd you settle down and get married?

I knew you'd never make it with the bag you carry

Maybe God moved on from the glory that He gave you"

But I knew

Deep inside I had another promise

Given by the Christ and if I'm being honest

This is my destiny, I know, I know

This is my destiny

Y'all knew I'd never make it but I believe

In my God and His greatness, my destiny

I was written in the pages of my destiny

Destiny, my destiny

Knew I'd never make it but I believe

In my God and His greatness, my destiny

Was written in the pages of my destiny

My destiny, yeah

Just a kid, no one wanted any part

Of the life I would live, I was all about the arts

But that wasn't my problem, in trouble often

Just a kid torn between Christ and the coffin

I would hear them talking, parent-teacher meeting

Unlimited potential but the building had a ceiling

I just had a feeling, feel it too

That without Christ in me I wouldn't have the roots

To withstand the blast of the past and prove

That in His plan I have this grasp of truth

So with this stand I disband life and lose

My life to the Christ who sacrificed for you

And I ride for truth and I ride for freedom

When I rise I see Him, when I finally meet Him

If this life I lose, then I gain a kingdom

So I cry to you while the angels singing

And I ride for truth and I ride for freedom

When I rise I see Him, when I finally meet Him

If this life I lose, then I gain a kingdom

So I cry to you while the angels singing

This is my destiny

Y'all knew I'd never make it but I believe

In my God and His greatness, my destiny

I was written in the pages of my destiny
