I Believe The Lord Has Put Me Here To Sing To You Lyrics - Dean Strickland

Back in 1967 

An angel came down to Earth from Heaven 

And told my mama she'd be having a son, and to name him Dean 

Well, my mama didn't ask no questions 

I got my name 'cause she followed directions 

And that's when a gift from God was sent to all the ladies 

At age six I picked up a guitar and sang along 

With a gift for writing beautiful poems and great songs 

I decided with my gift from God I'd sing to the people 

Then as a very intelligent young man I started ramblin' 

'Cause He watches over me I don't consider it gamblin' 

When I hop in a complete strangers wheels travelin' cross-country 

CHORUS: 

See, I believe the Lord has put me here to sing to you 

So even if it kills me that's what I plan to do 

With such purpose in life made oh, so clear to me 

Who am I to argue with the powers that be? 

CHORUS 

I'm not one to argue with the powers that be
