Reborn

Deep down in the depths of hungering need and pain
Lies my soul that has its familiarity’s known of
Death comes swiftly and sometimes Heaven accepts
Sometimes giggling on the gates shows mercy and love.

My name wasn’t seen in “The Book Of Life” listings
Faith has escaped me while I lived my time on Earth
Seems I’ve never heard or been taught about Jesus
Never was I born again in spirituality’s rebirth.

Passing angels seen my face pressed against the gates rods
The pearly rods imprint was on my face showing desperation
They stopped to tell me that I have to wait on our Lord
He’ll be coming to see if I’ve been reading God’s devotions.

Thinking to myself and asking, “What are devotions?”
Back into my body on Earth… I’ve been Heaven denied
Suffering in the pain of cancer that riddles my bones
I cry out for God to listen and not yet have him crucified.

Death’s impending journey to Hell is pulling me down
Bargaining with God is not the right road to take
A first class ticket to Hell is on its way for my eternity
Sorry for all I’ve done and not a believer that’s fake.

I feel one foot descend and burn with Hell’s flames
Raising it doesn’t get its way out of my destiny
My belief in God has come too late unless I pray
Pray and ask Jesus in my heart and in my infinity.

My other foot has now descended with the other burning
Screaming out “Oh God I am almost fully engulfed in Hell”
“Please come in my heart and save me from damnation”
Just then lightning struck and my feet were free and well.

“Please dear Lord bring me into the Kingdom Of God”
Though I don’t deserve such forgiveness, when such a sinner
Thunder sounded and I grabbed my chest… it is tightening
My eyes opened to see Heaven’s pearly gates and its banister.

God’s hand reached out and took mine guiding me in
I was weeping from the purest love I’ve ever felt so deep
I came to stand beside God and I told him ”I love you”
Smiling he said “I love you too my newest sheep”

I am a child of God and in the flock of our Father
Overwhelmed and very happy.. then I see down below
My family is around my body and crying with great sorrow
God said “I am their comfort, they’ll rise from this low.”

Pure trust and faith filled me with doubts in mind
I am His child and forever I will praise His name
In Heaven where He has prepared for me a mansion
My heart has changed and through His I am not the same.

Thank You Jesus For Your Saving Grace...
