I once knew a person of so much pain and sorrow –
no hope of seeing tomorrow.
She awoke one day,
a dark and evil day.
She had finally realized that she had lost her way
on this dark and evil day.
She had done things that weren’t right,
so she clenched her hands tight and prayed.
She prayed, prayed, prayed
for a brighter day.
She prayed for something most people can’t.
She prayed for someone to save her.
SHE PRAYED FOR SALVATION!
