The Face of Christ

The Face Of Christ

as a young boy I was out in my lawn
 I looked intently up at the sky

 to my amazement I saw the face of Christ
 having a vast domain of saints behind him

 Suddenly I was paralyzed inside
 for I had no where to run away & hide

 there was lines being formed in the sky
 this adage of thought is no lie

 tears began to flow from my eyes
 I wasn't ready for the return of my Lord

 for I had to much sin in my life
 amidst the barrage of thoughts and strife

 There he was in the sky I couldn't believe my eyes
 a beacon of hope to a hurting world in search of love

 all from the amazing hand from up above
 he looked very primitive almost on edge

 with many thoughts swirling around inside my head
 maybe he wanted to wake the dead

 I will always remember that dear scene in my mind
 For now I could see with no more to be blind
