God Showed Me It Wasn'T Time

I'd learned of the man running heaven
On the year I was eleven 
But I hardly knew him
So I just dismissed him

But later I was fourteen
He'd shown himself to me when I was just barely a teen 

I had nearly died 
By method of suicide

He told me it's not my time 
So now I wait for him to show me when it actually is time

But while I wait I praise him
Rather than dismiss him
