A rustling wind blew up one day
From Garbage on the street
“To endless life, just walk this way
And sit at Jesus feet”
I turned the paper in my hand
I read the other side
That God could lead to understand
Why Jesus came and died
Of course at first I had to smile
The bible’s just a book
But after thinking for a while
I thought I’d take a look
The tract had said to start at John
Verse one until the end
Reading of Jesus Christ God’s Son
Revealed Him as a friend
What joy I found God’s word to read
What miracles divine
Christ came and died a Holy Seed
And made salvation’s mine
It’s mine; because to God I’ve turned
Repented of my shame
Through Jesus’ Spirit truth I’ve learned
Trusting His wondrous name
I must at admit ’twas hard at first
My neighbours thought I’d fail
They thought that I to death was cursed
So long in Satan’s jail
But now I’m free and free I’ll stay
Thank Christ my Lord and friend
I’ll walk with Him Salvation Way
Until the very end
