***Dede's Walk With God ***

 

 

I had on new clothes,
New sneakers on my feet.
I was there for class on time,
Went to the back and took my seat.

 

Yeah, I'm moving up,
I'm already grown.
Soon I'll be graduating,
And out on my own.

 

I talked to some friends,
We were all having fun.
Said some things I shouldn't have said,
Did some things I shouldn't have done.

 

I knew I was different,
I felt God touch my heart.
I knew I should set a standard,
But then I'd be set apart.

 

Walking to the bus,
I was not looking for strength.
I heard the tires screeching,
But now it's too late.

 

I'm standing in this room,
And I can see the heavenly gate.
Oh no! I never prayed
I thought I had time to get it straight!

 

An angel walked to me,
He had a book in his  hand.
I knew it was the Book of Life,
When would this dream end?

 

I told him my name,
And he began to look.
Then he looked at me sadly and said,
Your name is not in this book

 

Angel, this is a dream,
No, I can't be dead!
He closed the book and turned away,
He whispered, You cannot proceed ahead.

 

No...no, this can't be real,
Angel, you can't turn me away.
Let me talk to God,
Maybe he'll let me stay.

 

He led me to the gate,
Jesus came to me.
He did not let me in but said,
Beloved, what is your need?

 

Jesus, I cried, please,
Don't cast me away from you.
Tears ran down his face as he said,
You knew what you needed to do.

 

Lord, please I'm young,
I never thought I would die.
I thought I'd have plenty of time,
Death caught me by surprise.

 

Lord, I went to church,
Please Jesus, I believe.
He said you would not accept me,
My love you would not receive.

 

Lord, there were too many hypocrites.
They weren't being true.
He took a step back and asked,
What does that have to do with you?

 

Lord, my family claimed to be saved,
They weren't real, you know.
He said, I died for you,
Now I have to go.

 

I fell to my knees crying to Him,
Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.
I couldn't make him understand,
I had never felt such sorrow.

 

Then it hit me hard, I said,
Lord, where will I go?
He looked into my eyes and said,
My child, you already know.

 

Please Jesus, I begged,
The place is so hot.
It seemed to trouble and grieve him,
He whispered, DEPART FROM ME.
I KNOW YOU NOT.

 

Lord, you're supposed to be love,
How can you send me to damnation?
He replied, With your mouth you said
you loved me.
But each day you rejected my salvation.

 

With that in an instant,
Day turned into night.
I never knew such torture could be,
Now too late, I know the Bible is right.

 

If I can tell you anything,
Hell has no age.
It is a place of torture,
Separated from God and full of rage.

 

You know I thought it was funny, a joke,
But this one thing is true.
If you never accept Jesus Christ,
HELL IS WAITING FOR YOU!

 

So please ask him into your heart.

 

IF SOMEONE HELD A GUN IN FRONT
OF YOUR FACE, AND ASKED YOU IF
YOU BELIEVED IN GOD,
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

 

SAY NO AND FEEL ASHAMED THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE?
OR SAY YES, I DO, AND DIE STANDING
UP FOR GOD?

 

If you'd say no, then forget about this page,
but if you'd say yes, then send this to
everyone you know.  Yes, everyone!

 

I, PERSONALLY BELIEVE IN
JESUS CHRIST
WITH ALL MY HEART & SOUL.
HOW ABOUT YOU?

*** THE POEM ***

 

 

I knelt to pray but not for long,

 I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work

 For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.

My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.

 

No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord, I came,

I stood with downcast eyes.

For in his hands God held a book;

It was the book of life.

 

God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

 

 

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
