Destruction and Salvation

The buildings were collapsing all around People screaming then falling down Than not making a sound. (I smiled) The ground started opening up And people falling in. (I smiled) The sea waters overflowed on the land Bringing destruction, mud, and sand. (I smiled) The skies turned completely black And the sounds of the lightning’s cracked. (I smiled) A man stopped me and asked: Why do you smile when the world around you is falling down? I responded: I smile because the lord walks by my side, and fills my heart and soul. I grabbed his hands- “ and he smiled” Let me walk with you, for I also felt him too. We walked hand in hand through this barren land. Other people stopped and asked the same question. Then took our hands and joined us too. The salvation of the world was coming true. Faith, hope, love, was following thru. As the people joined and held hands The destruction began to cease. And in peoples hearts They found relief and peace. When they looked there were thousands Holding each others hands For this was - part of gods plan. louis rams
