In The Nick Of Time
I remember the day he saved my life.
It was filled with heartache and strife.
I was truly thinking of checking out.
I picked a time when no one was about.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
It was a coleporter selling books & more.
He talked about how the Bible gave us hope.
About how we can get help to cope.
What he said made sense to me.
I asked the man to pray with me.
He did & I felt a weight being lifted off.
I know all of this made the Devil wroth.
I bought a book called “Steps To Christ.”
I read it and it changed my life.
I knelt & gave it all to the Lord.
Life was exciting. No longer bored.
I called the coleporter & bought more books.
I read them all. I also read the Bible book.
I was changed. I was alive.
I told others about it. I didn’t hide.
I went to church . I made new friends.
I talk to everyone that God sends.
Many have followed my example.
My testimony, I guess, was ample.
Things are great. Things are good.
I put God first, just like I should.
Occasionally, trouble still comes my way.
I pray to God and it all goes away.
I’ll take this life over what I had before.
With God in my life I have so much more..
I have that coleporter to thank.
He is the best. On that you can bank.
He saved me from checking out.
But, really, it was God, without a doubt.—–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
