Hi my name is Jack I failed sixth grade sitting in the back Yeah I flunked and the people called me dumb and everytime they did I went a little more numb After while my brain thought like they did I was nothing but a dumb little kid But I know God now you see I just want to tell you how He saved me I hated everyone and I had no friends I even hated my next of kin I always thought of killing myself So I went to my dads room and took the gun off the shelf I put one bullet in the chamber cause thats all I'd need I put the gun in my mouth and counted 1-2- and froze on 3 if I would have pulled the trigger i know I would be dead I put the gun away and I went to bed That night when i was sleeping there I had a dream that Jesus was patting my hair He said to me "Its ok can't you see" "Just pray and I'll be your friend" "I gave my life to forgive your sins" I woke up early one moring It started off really boring My mom came in and asked "are you going to Teen Blast" I thought it couldn;t be to bad I can ask some questions about the dream that I had They had a concert just before mid-night I liked the band they were alright As the lead singer stood up on the stage he spoke of a time when he was about my age He said he asked God to give him a friend He said "he prayed to Jesus to forgive my sins..." "If you work with God Satan can't win" I got on my knees and prayed to God I am sorry Lord that I forgot I forgot your love I forgot my grace So please Lord come into my life and put me in my place After I prayed I began to cry Well you would too if God saved your life After the show I talked to the band I got an autograph and shook their hand Thank you so much for telling me your story I can see my life now it isn;t as blurry I remember that night jsut like yesterday December 31 was the night I got saved I wouldn't trade my Savior for anything not for talent to write or a voice to sing I am sorry that this drug on and on but I love to write and could write until dawn That was a poem about one single person who had a few problems and was always hurting I hope you all find Jesus someday Because He will come back and take us away
