~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.

  ~ Author's Notes:

Not fictional at all, but based completely on the Word of God, the Holy Bible.
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.
