Streams of tears so hot,
Tore my cheeks in half,
As I watched heaven's gate close before my eyes.
The blasting trumpets,
The ringing cymbals,
The singing angels,
All in view, as it was said;
As it was written.
I dared not breathe a word,
Nor did I dare to gasp.
For I knew mine own exploits
Hath strayed me this far
From heaven's threshold.
I knew it was over; I knew it was finished.
I knew that for sure,
I would gnash my teeth, for all eternity.
My heart could scarcely pound, yet I was so afraid.
My bones could scarcely shiver, yet I was freezing cold,
In anticipation for the scorching heat, I knew would soon follow.
Just as I was about to accept my fate;
About to embrace the demons that eagerly awaited me,
My eyes opened, and I awoke from that deadly slumber;
That horrible nightmare that nearly shattered my soul.
And once again, I was made flesh.
Once again, I was given a chance to taste, to breath, to feel, and to hope.
My dear lord, hath deemed me worthy of a second chance.
He hath bestowed upon me, his divine mercy.
And now, I can live again, give again, love again.
