“A Little Ugly Weed”
A Little ugly weed has an old timey country music sound that is a great contrast with DAVID’s rock n’ roll sound you hear in his other songs.

Verse 1 I’m just a little ugly weed
I can't write and I can't read and I can't grow tall
I'm no good at all
I see the mountains over there
I see the pine trees waiving in the mountain air
God’s Glory shared
Chorus
Well I ain't blind, but I can't see
I can’t see the forest for the trees
I ain't got the faith that I need, I'm just a weed
But Lord, if you ever need a weed, How ‘bout me?
Verse 2
They built a church across the way
I watch that building everyday as the years go by
I bet it’s nice inside
And it’s cold, it’s wintertime
They’ll have a Christmas play tonight and they’ll sing Hymn songs
I guess I don't belong
[Chorus]
Bridge
Then the church doors opened wide, then a little girl took me inside
And laid me down by the manger scene
She fashioned me into a bed, where she laid the Master’s head
And she fulfilled my life-long dream
Chorus 2
Well, how ‘bout me?
Well, I ain't blind, but now I see
She didn't pick the flower, she picked me
Well, I've got a purpose, I filled a need
And I'm still a weed
But I thank you Lord for using me
Well, how ‘bout me?
You ain't blind but you can't see, you can’t see the forest for the trees
You ain't got the faith that you need
Well look at me
The Lord used a church to save a weed
How ‘bout me?
