Run Run as Fast as You Can

Run run as fast as you can don't let nothing slow you down.
Run run as far as you can don't let the evil one in.
Run fast and run far, don't stop or you'll fall under his spell.

Running ever so quickly as fast as my legs will carry me away from the fear and doubt.
Running towards the light of Christ and away from the darkness that I'm in.

Don't stop, don't slow down then he'll get you he'll steal your soul then when he's done he'll cut your throat.
The evil imp will tear at you and gnaw till your bones are all chewed, he'll stab you in the back so listen when I say for if you stop you may fall under his spell today.

So just run, run as fast as you can run far and wide, don't stop, don't rest till Heaven's door's fling open wide. Run.

Death's Shadow

Death’s shadow came for me, but Jesus told them they had to leave.

I awoke like sleeping beauty and then I just went back to sleep.

Years ago I had an experience and that experience changed my life forever. When I was in high school I believe it was around that time, I was always so very sick. The doctors took forever figuring out what was wrong with me. But finally they did. But not before death tried to claim my name. I went to bed one night and the next thing I knew I was with my grandfather, now my grandfathers both died before I was born. But this one my mom’s dad was a preacher and a missionary. He was talking to me and it was as if we were in a hospital type place and someone was dying. It felt like we talked forever. Then all of a sudden he started to ascend up into the Heavens and he held out his hand and said come with me. I wanted to go with him so I took him his and we started to ascend further and further up into the sky, past everything till we reached the doors of Heaven. Now the doors were really tall and really wide, I have never seen such intricate workmanship and I have no idea of what they were made of, it was nothing from this world. Then my grandfather turned to me and said no you have too much work left to do, and I remember being sad and confused as we parted, then I woke up gasping for breath, feeling the sting of death, and smelling the worst smell I ever smelt in my life, my own rotting flesh! I knew I had just been dead. I was scared, grateful, I prayed a little bit then I didn’t know what to do but go back to sleep.

 The disease tried to call my name, but God had other plans. Satan tried to lure me away but God said no she needs to stay. Why am I here on earth where there is such sorrow and pain, maybe to help someone like you today. We may have totally different stories then yet maybe they are similar, maybe we can relate that sickness and death is a pain like no other. However it is that I am here today, I know that one thing is clear. We can figure this out together our stories are not too far apart. We can find God together and live more peaceful than before. No reason the devil has to torture us through our disease anymore. We just learn to trust the Lord and all things will lead us back to the Lord.
