An image of Paul on the road to Damascus, experiencing a profound revelation Generative AI

On a call heard from the Father On my way, I am on my way Settle for nothing Always above things That bring us down No longer lost, but found And I’m walkN Just short of runiN And I’m dreamN GetN instruction, from my Father within and above He indwells me with agape love walkN RuniN Toward the streets I am on the road to Damascus Was struck by a brilliant light, Fell to the ground, heard a voice from heaven Identified as the voice of Jesus asking, “Why are you using violence against me?” And ended up blind being led by his companions Toward Road to Damascus I was Jesus face-to-face On the road to Damascus. Suddenly a light from heaven Flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting," he replied. I was in myself In my sin N shame Darkness covering He lit my light, I shone bright I became a Holy Hurricane Whom am I to judge? This ain’t love I come no longer to persecute you In mine conversion, My redirection-I call on for my forgiveness and deliverance In a diversion I was converted Was Saul became Paul The Apostle I now stop judging persecuting Christians and sinners alike Father God given me a new light On a call heard from the Father On my way, I am on my way Settle for nothing Always above things That bring us down No longer lost, but found And I’m walkN Just short of runiN And I’m dreamN GetN instruction, from my Father within and above He indwells me with agape love walkN RuniN Toward the streets I am on the road to Damascus Out of the darkness, into His now our light And every, everything now is alright I am led him to cease persecuting Christians And to become a follower of Jesus GetN instruction, from my Father within and above He indwells me with agape love walkN RuniN Toward the streets I am on the road to Damascus
