In Thought,
I did not speak
I looked around
then upon this street...
A Golden light
I saw my fate,
St. Peter standing
at a pearly gate
"...here’s your Lamp
it will give you sight
as you walk through the valleys
of your dark in Life"
I saw my past
then stream on by...
I saw all the things
that made me cry
I watched just how they
made me strong
It’s view revealing then,
of all my wrongs
I gazed upon
all my loving loves...
With tears I watched ,
to the One above!
Standing,
Their testimony stood
with loving hands
placed upon His Book
I then came to,
and upon every face,
To face the ones
I refused to grace...
Thoughts of then,
O’ how, affecting them!
Then ensued, I saw in me
in there, of asking Him...
"O’ Pleasing Lord,
please forgive my sins!
O’ Loving God,
Will you let me in?"
I held my lamp
then higher up,
to see more of , this...
my flowing cup!
I didn’t like
my revealing self,
and then He made visible,
all the depths of Hell!
"So many times!", His cry called out...
"I thought I’d lost you, in all your doubt!"
Then His light ...
cast away from this
and I heard His voice
so Glorious say...
"Behind you barren, this far you’ve come
"Your rights surpassed , It’s you I’ve won!"
Humbly meek
I fell and kneeled
The line of my Life,
His saving sealed,
of each, and every,
the ones I healed
The beggar there,
I remember well...
He smiled, saying,
"You saved me from Hell!"
The children I prayed for
and all the sick,
Even the ones, I told to pick,
"Him or him?"
and they chose Him!
My line so long,
I had no clue?
One never thinks
of the things we do...
The smallest seed,
in planting rows
all I tended,
and watched them grow...
This was my line
I hoped and prayed...
And...then...in suddenly,
I heard him say...
"For This my Child...
you will hear My song!"
A voice, A light,
with all Heaven’s might...
"For all you’ve done,
for all you did
My gift, today,
for you, this I give...
He held my hand
together walking,
Golden hues and silver sands
upon this is,
For this He planned
"The Life you led
For My love, you do
Today, I give...
Everlasting Life to You!"...
