“Forgive me please this time of night <br />My friend’s in so much pain <br />Across the moor we saw your light <br />Despite this freezing rain <br /> <br />I found him lying cold and still <br />Near to death I fear <br />And so to do the Father’s will <br />I sought your help in here” <br /> <br />“Come in my friends I’ll close the door <br />Come in and take a seat <br />Your friend looks frozen to the core <br />Draw closer to the heat <br /> <br />I’m sure you can’t go on tonight <br />You must go straight to bed <br />It’s good you saw my kitchen light <br />Or both of you’d be dead <br /> <br />For both of you to God I’ll pray <br />I live here all alone <br />The doctor lives too far away <br />And I don’t have a phone <br /> <br />Have faith dear friends God understands <br />He sees and knows your pain <br />I’m sure He’ll stretch His healing hands <br />To make you well again <br /> <br />You’re now awake, I find it weird <br />Something I can’t ignore <br />The man who brought you disappeared! <br />Straight through a bolted door” <br /> <br />You say you never knew his name <br />Yet friend don’t think it odd <br />I now believe that He who came <br />Was Christ The Son Of God.<br /><br />Michael P.
