He Decided To Keep Me Here
I figured I would go right up to heaven
So I was ready to die, wishing for it actually.
Expecting to see my relatives, and my favorite dogs
I closed my eyes begging for God to take me
But He decided to keep me here
Jesus came to me in a dream and His will was clear
I had work yet to do
And was not going to find relief
What I needed was a different doctor
I was disappointed, but he is God
And I am merely his servant,
And a sinner to boot
He did not talk about any of my indiscretions
But I felt them none-the-less
They actually ran around in my mind as He spoke
I decided to get better, do better, be better
So maybe when He was ready, I would be able
to go to heaven
The way I was going had to be revisited,
Rethought, and reevaluated. He did that for me.
And I found a new doctor who kept me alive.
Not as alive as going home,
But alive enough for me to change my sinning ways.
So thank you O’Lord.
