No One Came




When I was in dire straits,
the heartbeat of my life fading away
No one came to my rescue
When I cried out for help,
calling on the calvary ... 
vision of a cross came to me
It was dripping with blood,
not my own
The blood spelled a message on the ground:
Pick up the heavenly phone,
and call 764 before all hope is gone
Son of God
He can save your soul,
but you can’t be afraid
of letting this life go
I did what was revealed to me,
I called on the name of Jesus Christ urgently
Suddenly my pulse of life
started to get stronger,
and I was determined to hold on longer
Made a vow to help others who were in trouble,
emergency situation
Gave them the Doctor’s number on the double,
prayer call for salvation
The Son of God came to my rescue,
when I cried out that fateful day
If you see the message of the cross,
I suggest you do what it say

Hi Freddie, when we call , He answers and that is our comfort in this turbulence. When one day I run into you up there, may we reflect on what got us "there". The conscience of our wrongs that we attempted at straightening out , I guess. In the end it was only His mercy so profound.Yet a poet implores Him ,beseeches Him more urgently perhaps
