On the road to Damascus

On the road to Damascus

A heart filled with hatred
fear and anger dwelling within
saw a light from heaven flash
so to the ground fell prostrate.
Heard a voice aloud asking:
“Why do you persecute Me so?”
Then opening up his eyes
to a vision of total darkness
was blinded for three days
that his spirit may see.
So he may to know the wonder
of He that came in love…
Jesus, who died on the cross
and on the third day rose again.
On the road to Damascus
a hardened heart was touched
to be filled with the Word
and from then on speak
for the glory of the Lord.
