One Day

One day a spirit caught me It didn’t take me high in the sky Neither did it take me down to the depths of the earth. It rather took me to a place called “The inside of a spirit” Ha! Ha! A spirit led a spirit in a soul Then you know what came next? I wondered about the gifts I offered those I loved And all the letters I wrote to the ones on my heart’s frames; I thought so deeply and deeper did my understanding sink Then here I came up with this Why shouldn’t I, why shouldn’t you, just write a short letter to God And give one of the simplest gifts you could give, Say how thankful you are for all you have received, Say you need to be transformed and hate your sin, Say things you need in life to be happy And just show him desperate people you wish to see as happy and thankful as you are now… You see, I’m done with the letter And the gift I am to give is just my heart. No wonders! I know it’s not worth giving to the Lord of lords But I’m sure that if I gave my sinful and proud heart to those I called friends They couldn’t help keeping it. They’d rather consider it a trash Because it would be of no use to them; To say, a heart like mine they already possess. However, it remains a wonder how God would call a feast Just for my proud heart For He has loved me with such an enduring love, He transforms my being and makes me whiter than snow, Then He uses it to bring other lost souls to Him. To this, can't we sing ” GLORY TO HIS NAME”?
