Left Behind
Miraculously this morning
The clouds parted in the heavenly skies;
Ascending down on wings of a dove,
Our savoir did gloriously arrive.
He gathered his children,
Pure of heart,
Eager to follow him home;
I, among others,
When he did depart,
Were left on this Earth to roam.
Many were startled;
Cried in their sorrow,
Wondering about their fate.
While I stood tall
Understanding it all,
Not worried if it were too late.
What he left behind
Were some tormented souls,
Not earning their wings quite yet
And a solid few
That he knew
Could help others without regret.
My job I sensed
Wasn’t recompense
Nor due to any bad faults;
I was left behind
To help save mankind
And stay true to all that he taught.
So, thank you Lord
For trusting in me
And blessing me with the strength
To preach your word,
Making sure that it’s heard,
Going to every length.
And when in time,
Once again,
Our savior does descend,
I’ll stay behind,
With the dredges of mankind
Trying to save them to the end.
