A young man came to me
He had tears in his eyes
He said,
“Oh, with all this pain
I wish that I could die.”
I asked him,
“Why is it you feel this way?”
He replied,
“In my situation, I feel I’m bound to stay.”
And as he continued, I felt his pain in my heart
So, I looked up to heaven for something to impart
He pleaded,
“How can I rise
From the despair that I’m in?
I’m lost and confused,
Wanna end this life of sin.
But I feel so trapped on this path!
I need someone to pray.
Intercede on my behalf,
So the Lord can change my way.”
After I listened
With my heart bent low
Feeling as the Lord must have
Taking up men’s sorrow,
I grabbed him by the shoulders
And with him, I wept
Knowing not so long ago
I was enslaved at that depth
And we stood there,
Finding peace
In each other’s embrace;
While I renewed my vows
And he accepted God’s Grace.
It is such a blessing to have someone you can lean on when you’re going through difficulties, or in the midst of despair. Thank God you were there to listen, react, and give a hearty embrace. God bless you, continue to show love and support for all mankind.
