Before and After
How one could even argue is a point I find so strange
From Saul came Paul anew, as only God can change
Everyone knew Saul's old way as Christian's did fear
Fearing him each day, even when Saul wasn't near
A murderous man was he who was filled with hate
To this all would agree and all signs would indicate
As to Damascus he went with his little gang in tow
For on death Saul was intent but little did he know
There brightly before his eyes 'The One you persecute'
'Saul why do you so despise, with hatred at your root'
With God Almighty right there! his body filled with fear
For now Saul had become aware for all had come clear
And so will we all tremble in the seeing of God's Face
As to what life will resemble you too will need His Grace
In your case what will it take if you'll ever come to see
See now, for your own sake even if you still don't agree
The Christian slayer Saul, became the God Loving and fearing Paul.
Paul wrote 13 letters in the Bible and perhaps 14 in Hebrews.
How could it be but for God?
