An Empty Bag

Gone back to the scene
Studied the footsteps
Seen the fingerprints
Jesus was here!

The Devil came
And departed in Shame
With an empty bag

On the eve of Sabbath
The devil had a crash 
On my Life

Let me shout
The goodness of God
The Lord who kept me 

It was not chance
It was not luck
It was not wit

It was God
I saw Him, I felt Him, I heard Him
He touched me, He touched me
He touched me, He touched me

The cross if empty
The tomb is empty
The Lord is here

Walking with me
Sitting with me
Driving with me

And I know
He is not done with me
He is mine, I am His

Gone back to the scene
Studied the footsteps
Seen the fingerprints
Jesus was here!

Hello Peter Onyancha, I sense that God is everywhere. I sense he listens to all prayers. We are never alone I sense god is always with us. Blessings.

Darlene it is the most mysterious of escape. It's purely hermaneutic. Many thanks.

Hello Peter Onyancha, were not hurt. It is better that a car would be in pieces than you being hurt. Yes God was with you. God Bless you my friend. Anyone was hurt? I hope not too badly.

Thanks Darlene De Beaulieu. I actually came out of a tormenting head on road crash over the weekend. The pics traumatized me and I believe God was just there next to me.

Thanks Monicah. Namesake and poet par excellence. The devil thought there was a transfer window. God's not done with me..
