Saved By An Accident
We were walking, my girl & I.
Her sweet name is Velvet Skye.
Prettiest thing you would ever see.
Always wants to be with me.
We walked on along the shore.
Walked till we couldn’t walk anymore.
A steep cliff was in our path.
So we put down our picnic mat.
We prepared to eat our lunch.
Then we heard an awful crunch.
A car shot out over the cliff.
It landed in the ocean mist.
Shocked, we ran to try and help.
The water was cold with lots of kelp.
I dove down & pulled out a woman.
Surfaced & asked if she could swim.
She nodded yes & headed to shore.
I dove back down to check for more.
I found her purse and that was all
She had reached shore & started to bawl.
We gave her a blanket to wrap up in.
She looked like she was all done in.
Her boyfriend & her had just split up.
She was having some pain in her gut.
She was speeding because she was angry.
.Air brakes would have came in handy.
She came into the curve too fast.
She knew she was going to crash.
She prayed to a God she barely knew.
Next she knew I was there too.
Helping her to get out of the car.
Bringing her up & to where we are.
I first thought you were an angel.
I don’t know how much to tell.
But, my life is changed somehow.
God is the only answer now.
Her testimony brought tears to our eyes.
Then my girl and I both realized.
We needed God in our life too.
You pray for us & we’ll pray for you.

Now we all are best of friends.
As our life in Christ really begins.
We all go to the same church.
It’s the greatest church on earth.
Because Jesus is there with us.
We thank Him for our near brush
with death that day at the ocean.
It put our religious life in motion.————-R. W. Johnson—–(2013)
