Analysis of May 10 My Birthday
Sharon Brown 1974 (Brooklyn)
May 10th.
My day of strength.
I came forth from the womb.
I almost went into my tomb.
I almost died.
But the devil lied.
I got a life saving Transfusion.
Elohim put the devil to confusion.
Yeshua prayed.
And I got saved.
In God I am surely truly Blessed.
Jesus Is Lord, with my mouth, I confessed.
In this poems grand finale
God's blessings I cannot tally
I was born sin's slave.
Now I'm only a slave to Christ.
May the 10 is when
God gave me my life.
In a subsequent event
God gave me eternal life
Jesus Christ is the way the Truth and the Life
