(I wrote this a long time ago when the movie Roots first came out. The Lord dropped this poem in my spirit)

In case you’re wondering where you came from

and how to find your roots
Just search the word of God
for there you’ll find the truth

God made man from the dust of the ground
and breathed in him the breath of life
And from man’s side he made a woman
to be man’s lawful wife

Male and female he did create
in his likeness and image
And from this geneology
came men throughout the ages

They began to multiply and replenish the earth
And beginning with Adam and Eve
in the book of Genesis
You can establish your birth

For the Bible is the word and the word is truth
Just search the scriptures
and in them you’ll find your roots
