| The Story |
| Not so very long ago, I was lost as a man could be, There never was a sinner, Quite as bad as me. I was a rocket bound for hell, when I heard an old man tell, How God took away his sins and strife, That was the day, I'm proud to say, That God brought sunshine to my life. I listened close to every word, As the old man told to me, How wonderful and peaceful, Heaven's going to be. He told me of the Virgin birth, And how angels came to sing, Of how shepherds and wisemen came to the manger, To worship the newborn King. He told me of a man named Jesus, Who was the virgin's child, He told me of his gentleness, So loving meek and mild I heard about the miracles, Jesus performed in his Father's name, He raised the dead from eternal sleep, And he healed the blind and the lame. He told me of the garden, Where Jesus knelt to pray, When the soldiers came and bound him, And took the Lord away, He spoke to me of beatings, And great brutality, He spoke of how the soldiers, Nailed Jesus to a tree, Then he told me, Jesus did it all for me. I dropped to my knees, My heart filled with pain, And cried out to God, While my tears fell like rain. I cried "Dear Lord forgive me, The many sins of my past, And save my poor soul Lord, Of this I pray to ask." Then something changed deep inside of me, A feeling I'd never known, An incredible peace surrounds me, And I knew I was'nt alone. I stood up and looked at the old man, He smiled and shook my hand, Then said "I'll see you later brother, In the promised land. He turned away, and then he was gone, But in my heart is a brand new song. I knew then what I was meant to do, My friend, Do I have a story to share with you! ~Calvin Hart~ |
