What Was I Supposed To Be?



Words and music by Ray Boltz



When 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 ask Him,

What was I supposed to be?



CHORUS:

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

Or laid my head

At my mother's breast to sleep

Oh, Jesus, what was I supposed to be?



CHORUS



Was I to be a prophet

Used in the ministry?

A doctor who would find the 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,



CHORUS



What was I supposed to be?

Jesus, what was I supposed to be?
