Thanks for Stopping

   Thanks for stopping

“It’s good of you to stop for me

Amidst this dreadful storm

I’m soaked all through as you can see

But your car’s nice and warm

 

My friend, I’m truly in your debt

The cold was like a knife

For hours I’ve suffered cold and wet

I think you’ve saved my life

 

It may to you sound rather odd

But out there in the rain

I raised my eyes and prayed to God

Who heard me once again

 

Though wet and frozen to the core

I heard Christ Jesus say

“To you, I’ll send an open door

To help you on your way”

 

I saw you coming from afar

God gave me this decree

“The door for you will be a car

Wherein you’ll speak of me”

 

God’s holy Word is my command

I heard and will obey

You stopped for me as Jesus planned

Now hear these words I say

 

God could have made me warm again

He could have stopped the pour

He could have called ten thousand men

A million even more

 

Instead my friend He’s chosen you!

God chose to set you free

Believe that Christ, God’s Son is true

Believe my friend and see”.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
