my deliverance

i sit upon my roof and i wish it all away
i can see myself struggling each and every day
every turn i have ever taken had a dead end at the end
who am i fooling no need to pretend
as i sit here wondering how to end it all
should i jump,should i just fall
my heart beats with such remorse
"you did it wrong of course!"
i shake my head knowing soon i'll be dead
let's end it all,enough said.....

a bright white light engulfs my whole
a voice speaks into my soul
"wait before you end it all"
be careful that's quite a fall"

i turn around and see an angel smile
"iv'e been here for a while"
listening to all your woes"
do you know who made your toes?"
"your head,your heart,your soul,your mind?"
all your life he's been so kind"

"when last did you say hi to him?"
or say sorry for your sin?"
did you go to his house on sunday?"
when last did you pray?"

and even through all of this"
not a single day in your life has he missed"
he's been there on your lonely days"
he's held your hand in darker ways"

so please look at me and tell me what you see!"

i take a deep breath and open my eyes
"i see God sent someone to calm my cries"
"perhaps today no one dies"
"i will save my goodbyes"

the angel speaks once again
tries to keep me sane

"listen my child i asked what do you see"
"you say im an angel standing here before thee?"
how can you not recognise me?"
OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE!"

i look very close as i wipe my tears
my whole body is cleansed, no fears!
i see the holes in his hands
and in his feet as he stands

"my God how could i be this blind?"
my sadness has made me unkind
today i will turn my life around
with this new belief that iv'e found

"go forth an live like there is no tomorrow"
never agian speak to me of sorrow"
and when the day comes when you finally die
                                         say goodbye
                                         meet me in the sky...
