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.
