I don’t know how it happened, there’s no explanation;
It was to be a routine bypass operation.
But my heart couldn’t take it; I know the doctors tried
Desperately to bring me back the moment that I died.
But I found myself floating, drifting farther away;
Wondering why my life would have to end this way.
I was drawn toward a light, warm and exciting;
And its familiar call was more than inviting.
But after I entered, I found myself alone.
Twas the strangest experience I had ever known.
I was standing in a library; dark and cold.
Many books adorned the walls, some new and some old.
But each of these books contained chapters from my life;
Deeds and thoughts that exposed me and cut me like a knife.
There were volumes dedicated to my transgressions.
Printed for all to read were my darkest confessions.
And then I found a book that shared my righteous acts;
With just fifteen pages dedicated to those facts.
I bowed my head in shame, as I took a long, sad look.
In all of the library, this was the smallest book.
While seeing tales of my trespasses scattered all around;
I wished I’d had a match, that I might burn it to the ground.
This library distressed me, to my personal chagrin;
It was a testament to a life consumed by sin!
I began to search for an exit from this place,
In hopes of escaping from the truth of my disgrace.
And that’s when I saw Him, like a star burning bright;
I feared I’d be blinded by such a radiant light.
He took a book from the shelf and then started to read.
I asked Him not to view it, and then began to plead.
But He kept right on reading while tears fell from His eyes;
Until He’d read every book; then each one, He did revise.
He removed, from them, my name; replaced it with His own,
I said; Lord those are my sins, the guilt is mine alone.
He said, “This is what I died for, why I had to live.
To wipe away your guilt; that your sins We may forgive.”
And then He embraced me and I knew it all was true.
He said, “Come and see the place that I’ve prepared for you.”
End.
