Lyrics:
Jesus walked upon the earth,
On the shores of Galilee,
He'd say to His disciples,
Let the little children come to me,
I wonder if up in heaven,
Do you suppose we'll see
little children asking
what was I supposed to be.

What was I supposed to be,
What were my eyes supposed to see,
And why did I taste of death
before I even drew a breath,
Laid my head at my mother's breast,
to sleep.
Oh Jesus,

Was I to be a prophet
used in the ministry,
A doctor who would find a cure
for some terrible disease,
Even if I'd been born imperfect
why couldn't my parents see,
That I'd have been made perfect
when you came back for me.
Oh Jesus

Oh Jesus, what was I
supposed to be,
Oh Jesus, what was I
supposed to be.

I have two boys that I have raised completely on my own. Their fathers both chose not to be in their lives. Even though the choices I made that led me to be pregnant were poor ones, I knew each time when I found out I was pregnant that it was a blessing, a gift. It has not always been easy, but I have never regretted having them. I cast no judgment, because I know the fear and pain in that choice. But there is so much joy in the midst of the struggle of being a single mom. I am blessed :)

To 1975sld: Thanks so much for such an encouraging comment from someone who has been through the hard times of raising an unplanned child. I hope your comment will encourage someone else who is facing a difficult decision to choose LIFE.

This is very hard for me, but I have to say this. Before I became a christian I had a few abortians. I hate myself for this now, I have prayed and asked the Lord for forgiveness I only pray that some girl sees this and hears in my words how horrible I feel today for doing what I did, I pray she stops and thinks about it so she never has to feel the pain that I still feel. This is something I will never get over. I pray that this song helps many young woman to not make the same mistakes.

He may be Gay now but that doesn't suddenly make his music and the message invalid. If a fitness expert is over weight does that mean their advice is automatically bad? Just my thought on the whole thing.
