Analysis of What I Became
When I was just a small, young boy
My momma said "Believe
The Bible or you won't enjoy
Life God meant for you Steve!"
When I was just a teenage guy
My daddy said to me,
"Son learn to pray so you'll know why
Yor faith can set you free!"
When I became a grown-up in
My hometown I did pray
And I learned what God thinks of sin,
With scripture read each day.
