The Conversion of St Paul - the Free Flow Style

~The Conversion Of St. Paul~ ( Free Flow Narrative ) Walking one day through a very dusty road About noon, nearing the city of Damascus And it was then that from Heaven came a very bright Light that all of sudden around him shone On his face, upon the ground he fell in fear And from Heaven this voice said to him Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me thus? Filled of fear Saul asked Him Who, who are you Sir? And He, the one with the voice replied I'm Jesus of Nazareth, the one you're persecuting thus What shall I do now for you my Lord? And Jesus our Lord and King, to him replied Get up and go quickly into the city of Damascus And once there you'll be told what to do Blinded was him by all that intense light But his devoted companions led him all the way A very godly man called Ananias lived there And he came by and stood right beside him And then he said to him, "Brother Saul" Receive right here and now again your sight And just right there and then in that very hour Saul could see him, restored again were his eyes The very loving God of our forefathers Had chosen him to know His will And to see Him, the Righteous One And hear Him from now on speak to you You are to take everywhere His Holy message Telling the whole world what you've seen And here in all its content and Also what you've from Him heard So don't delay any longer Get up and in His name be baptized Have all your sins in Him washed away And everything be, in the name of God our Lord So one day Saul, now renamed by the name of Paul Was praying to God into the temple When in a deep trance all of sudden he fell And he saw the vision of Jesus saying to him Hurry! leave Jerusalem right away For the people here won't believe you And when you tell them also All about me As he was arguing this with the Lord Jesus again repeated to Paul Leave Jerusalem right away For I'm sending you from here far away To the gentiles instead he was to go To give them all testimony of God Himself To be a witness and a very bright light Teaching all the people and in Jesus's name.

St. Paul, known as the Apostle to the Gentiles, was born in the city of Tarsus, a Roman city, thereby giving him Roman citizenship. And at his circumcision, he was given the Hebrew name Saul.
