Once within a dreary world
He dropped me to my knees
Your days are spent, it’s time to go
I begged for “more time--please!”
What will you do with one more day
Or ten years more if granted
Will you then honor Me
And sow in fields unplanted
Now sweat formed in rivulets
As His gavel swung mid-air
Seven weeks I’ll grant you--
Use them wisely, go prepare
I sought God’s forgiveness
For ignorance in years past
Love others, share my words--
That is each servant’s task
I set to work dismantling
Angry walls that I had built
In humbleness I swallowed
My old bitterness and guilt
Some folks, you might imagine,
Thought me daffy or deranged
Until I shared my story and
The power in love’s exchange
This world, it breeds conflicts
And manipulates our souls
It garners our attention
As it scoffs at worthy goals
So many crooked roads are
Paved with lies and desecration
Beware, at first they may seem smooth
But hell laughs at desperation
I opened my new Bible
Began with John, our Savior’s friend
These words, they lead the way
To heaven’s kingdom without end
When I look into a mirror
I finally like who I see
God gets all the credit
His love grabbed a hold of me
In the time I was allotted
Metamorphosis occurred
My lens of life was clearer now
Where once it had been blurred
I labored in His mission fields
Though arriving somewhat late
The joy was in the working
Sowing seeds to perpetuate
Whatever the time or season
Get ready--make a choice
Devote days to worldly nonsense
Or bow and listen for His voice
