"I Am Blessed"

I could've been an astronaut
flying in a rocket to outer space.
I'd see the stars a little closer;
how they shine and hold their place.
But I am just a laborer;
a sinner saved by grace, 
yet I am blessed and find my
rest when I have fallen on my face.
I could've been a doctor;
maybe find a cure for cancer.
When the sick would raise a question, 
I'd be sure to give an answer.
But I am just the patient; 
a sinner saved by grace,
yet I am blessed and find my 
rest when I have fallen on my face.
I could've been a singer.
I'd sing for all the world to hear.
The sound of peace and hope
would resonate inside their ears.
But I am just a listener;
a sinner saved by grace,
yet I am blessed and find my
rest when I have fallen on my face.
I could've been a business man;
making deals and lots of money,
though I've read that sickness comes 
when we have eaten too much honey.
But I am just a layman;
a sinner saved by grace,
yet I am blessed and find my 
rest when I have fallen on my face.
I could've been a preacher;
A faithful servant to the King. 
When I'd speak, the earth would listen
and find their place beneath His wing.
But I am just a drifter;
a sinner saved by grace,
yet I am blessed and find my rest 
when I have fallen on my face.
I could've been a sailor;
just my boat and an open sea.
But if I could be anything I want,
I'm okay with being me;
a child of God, bought by love,
a sinner saved by grace,
for I am blessed to find my rest
when I have fallen on my face.
