When Life Spits You Out a Big Surprise

As we all go through life we want to believe That we are all so wise Until life spits you out a big surprise As everything changes right before your eyes When life slows down and we drift inside We find ourselves fixed to a great slide Just hoping to get to the other side Oh God Where are you taking me on this ride Before I knew it we were in a full glide I realize this is no ordinary ride For on the way I could see clear as day If I don't pay attention then this ride will sway And I will never make it back to that day When my life caught me by surprise In such a big way It took me to a place I am not ready to stay This journey I must say helps me understand God has a plan It's in his presence that we reach For some kind of reference Life is very short so you better be a good sport Only God knows how wide the slide may be I'm just glad that he wasn't ready for me I learned so much as it all went by I knew I was in the right place Though I was very high As I opened my eyes I thought everything Was in disguise For I knew that nobody was going to believe What lays way up beyond the skies What a wonderful surprise to find out God loves me enough to send me back To you guys My life was altered in so many ways I was gone for forty-five days And some of it is still in a haze My life will never be the same Only the good Lord knows How close I came that day But one thing is for sure I would never feel any shame Or forget his mighty name This is how I became a Soldier in Christ To help him reclaim What Satan has taken away So we must all fight for what is right We must banish Satan way out of sight The bible is God's promise to all that believe It's our faith that sets us free I will stand against evil to help God to victory For God had picked me To see what most of us never get to see Until we transition this position And we leave these bodies You can imagine that look on my face When I actually made it back to that day I am a witness to all of his glory I will spend the rest of my life Sharing his story You will not hear any fear When I know my time is near He revealed it all to me It has set me free to go be with thee Without any mystery in what God Promised you and me
