GOING HOME
Life was a walk down a long lonely beach
and then a voice called me, from where?...I could not see.
I wandered for years in lonely despair
in hopes of finding that voice which spoke in a symphony
of love, and uneartly care.
In the heat of exhaustion, my thirst gone unquenched,
I dropped to my knees and from my heart, I did ask:
"Dear God who has called me? A man I can't see?
His voice is of one so unfamiliar to me.'
From the sands of deaths valley, with my last breath I cried:
"Dear God won't you save me? I'm not ready to die."
Is there somebody out there who really cares about me,
or am I really alone and forgotten, with Hell waiting for me?
The voice I once heard, came back that instant to me;
he said, "My child there is only One who can set yur soul free. He has been with you forever. Right from the start.
You just need to surrender and look in your heart.
You must know of my son, who died for all sin, his name is Jesus;...Salvation comes only through Him.
His Wisdom will save you from being satans' delight, now move closer to Jesus, and stand up to fight!"
I opened my eyes and His form soon appeared,
As I watched closely, I trembled in fear.
He spoke in that voice, I once heard long ago,
He said that he loved me, and told me the Truth,
I needed to know.
His form I still feared, for the light hid his face.
Yet, his arms outstretched, generated with the love
of Gods' grace.
"I know who you are;
at long last...
but I'm very weak now
and fear, fading fast.
May I lay my head upon your chest?
I need to close my eyes and rest.
Just lay me down, and let me sleep.
A watchful eye I know You'll keep.
When I awake, I'll be at peace.
In a new life, beyond evils reach.
