Wreck On the Highway
The television was going but my mind was not in tune.
Did you ever have that feeling something was going to happen and you felt it
would be soon?
Although I didn’t know what would happen, somehow I knew it would be today.
Something in the back of my mind told me I really needed to pray.
Well Lord I started praying, I prayed with all my might.
I prayed so hard my shirt was wet, I must have been a sight.
But still the feeling just wouldn’t turn loose so I prayed a little more.
And then I heard the noise of someone at my door.
In walked my son and his little man, oh what a sight to see.
He looked so pale a standing there, then he grabbed hold of me.
He said daddy I just saw something that made my blood run cold.
This 18 wheeler and this couple who looked to be quite old.
He said dad this old couple cut me off an ran me in the ditch.
Dad he said it would have been me had this old couple hadn’t made the switch.
This 18 wheeler out of nowhere completely wiped them out.
Dad that would have been us, there is just not any doubt.
It’s like they sacrificed themselves for us, I don’t know what else to say.
They said the driver of the truck, he would probably be okay.
They said the old couple was coming from chemo, and their life was nearly spent.
But to me they were angels from heaven, that our Savior sent.
Thank You Father!
This is just a poem but our Lord and Savior does intervene on our behalves many times
throughout our life times and we need to thank Him for all those unseen times!
