One night not too long ago when I was fast asleep <br />I had a dream so vivid it touched my spirit deep <br />I dreamed the Lord came to my house as any friend would do <br />I saw he was troubled and needed someone to talk to <br />I said come in Lord please sit down what brings you out this way <br />He looked at me through tear stained eyes I then I heard him say <br />My spirit is so heavy I'm burdened deep within <br />Since the fall of man took place the world's been lost in sin <br />I knew I would come to earth to give each soul a choice <br />To live with me forever or to turn away my voice <br />For quite some time now it's been hard to sit upon my throne <br />Look down on my churches and see what's going on <br />Of course I did give man free will to choose which way he'll go <br />But how will he decide if no one will let him know <br />Eternal life is a gift it' up to everyone <br />To choose my everlasting love or reject my Father's son <br />The problem is not many know I will forgive their sins <br />All they have to do is ask and I'll gladly come right in <br />It really breaks my heart to see my children I have called <br />Hope someone else will help the one who's back's against the wall <br />What has happened to my church they used to share my love <br />My Father and the angels were rejoicing from above <br />Now the end is nearer than it's ever been <br />It's time my children tell the world I will forgive their sins <br />But if they only tell them one time a month or so <br />For many it will be too late to choose which way to go <br />Children I emplore you to share me with the lost <br />Show them just how much I care and how my life it costs <br />I am the only hope they have please help them find the way <br />So they won't heard 'depart from me' on that judgement day<br /><br />Joye Atkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-you-ashamed-of-me/
