“Hospital “
Im sitting and waiting for it’s been so long
Will she ever waken and open her eyes.
The impact was forceful, the truck ran the light.
Everyone is running, in and out of the room.
The doctor is screaming we must save her life.
My mother is praying, her sisters in tears, please help her doctor, we need her to live. I’m just a doctor im doing my best. This lady is injured, she’s hurt really bad. Please save her Jesus, I heard mama say. Wake up my darling, don’t leave me now. The doctors are working as fast as they can. She has all these tubes, they cover her body.
The monitors are beeping she’s clinging to life. Lord, please don’t take her, I can’t live alone.
I drop to my knees as I’m praying out loud. Lord please don’t take her, take me insted. My tears are just flowing, while I’m down on my knees I know that I’m crying, I start fading away the clock it keeps ticking, the night passing fast. Come on my idarling, please open your eyes. She looks just so peaceful lying there in the bed. I’m begging you Jesus, please spare her life The doctors are talking we have done what we can. Your wife is still breathing, I know there is hope. I’m only a doctor I’ve done what I can. In time she will waken, she must get some rest. The hard part is over, she needs time to heal. I’m holding her hand and squeezing it tight. She’s not responding I won’t leave her side. The doctor is asking everyone, please leave. I tell him I’m staying I won’t leave her side. Come on son, we must leave now. You look really tired you must come get some rest, I can’t leave her mama, ya go on instead. Ok, we are going please try to relax. The room got so quiet it’s just you and me. I’m sorry my darling it should had been me.
Lord please don’t take her, take me instead.
I ask you my Lord, for only you can.
Take me instead and spare her, (her life).
If you spare her her life, for only you can
I’ll follow you Jesus. Straight from my heart
He’s reclining up high next to her bed, he’s holding her hand. He dozed off, asleep.
Soon he was dreaming, am I talking to God?
Well come my child, what brings you here?
I’m here to ask you to please bring her back.
I offer myself, if I must take her place.
Or let me survive, spare me my wife.
I tell her my story, how her life, that you spared.
In trade I will serve you, straight from my heart.
We will both serve you Jesus, we’ll bond and both serve you. Two for one, bonded together
Then he heard a lord voice as it faded away
“I already knew ,why you were here”
He wakes up still holding her hand.
He looks up stright in her eyes, she’s sitting there smiling, did you sleep well. I sure did my darling
You’re woken as well, give me a moment. We must thank our lord.
He drops to his knees and looks towards the sky. I thank you Jesus, for sparing her life.
Who was this person?
No one I know.
I’m sure it has happened, only those people would know
Anyone that believes, that there is a GOD.
Have faith and follow through on your promise
