I remember that night, all those years ago
the night of great importance to my history
a significant event that touched my life and in turned touched many others
it was the night of the call, the birth of the Preacher
it was a sleepless night, I was restless
my wife later told me that I actually kicked her
she said that at one point I was a nervous wreck
but in an instant peace returned, and I suddenly went into a world
where peace was all I felt
she didn't know the latter, but I remember clearly
that fateful night I became a man of the cloth, undertook my new role in society
I can remember seeing nothing but darkness
turning to see the world behind me
a starless night, but wonderful sight indeed
but that was not the item of importance, while it's a nice memory
the true purpose of this vision was not yet revealed
so I will not keep you waiting
as I stared into the blue world, called the great planet earth
I remembered being wide-eyed, amazement flowed all over
but another feeling soon rushed over me, a tremendous warmth
suddenly, a light came about and flooded my vision
but in an instance everything returned,
that for a moment was blinded and hidden
the light touched me and said come forth
I have the mysteries of life to reveal,
a wrong to turn right, a truth to be taught
young child, so far you have lived a life of conformity
but you were made for something much greater
your true potential still lies before thee
as I stand before you, I give revelation for your life
it's not what you expect, but what I say is no lie
I am going to reveal to you the world,
the true position of it, what path it's headed down, its mysteries
what the world you think of is truely like
in my foolish moment of pride, I feld giddy beyond imagination
I felt elated and excited all at the same time
but what lay before me, I can't put into words,
if could be described, it was painful elation
what I expected to see was the wonders of the world
but instead the light showed me a hungry young girl
I expected to see the wonders of life
but instead I saw a husband and wife in shambles and strife
I expected to see happiness under the sun
but instead I felt, and saw the horrible void of spiritual death
a world that I once thought was alive and thriving
was a place in spiritual struggling, barely surviving
coffee cups of the exotic, turned into wicked pools of toxic
the light told me, while my light is still alive
I need you to pick up and carry the truth, and spread the living word of life
I give you this chance to touch the world
take it now and use what you have learned
I chose you before you chose me,
I give you this chance to take up your mission
I give you this chance to live, reach your potential,
for you to be spiritually free
From the sins of your past, you have another chance,
now give it to those who know not
of my love, and to those who have forgot
now deep down, trust in me, before this is I knew of you and what you could be
so now child, take up your path
and give to those who want to be free
and now as I leave you, know how much I love,
you and those on the earth above
and remember that I will always be there
I will return, quicker than the quickest hare
for those you and others touch will return home
but now you must go back below
and return to the earthly realm
where your mission to save others will now begin...
I kept my promise Lord,
as I stand here in this pulpit
twenty years later, now a church has been built
as we stand here Lord, we pray, and continue to wait
for your promise of returning, winning souls as we wait
to win back the world as much as we can,
to save them from their past fate
as time passes, and your arrival quickly comes
we continue to win souls, one by one
and the time continues to fade, but I still remember clearly that day
that you saved a young confused boy
made him into a man to save others, you used me, led others to your joy
and now Lord as I sit here I lay in wait,
for our next encounter, this time at your heavenly gates
