[bodytext] => I have spent my lifetime running, To live life just as I pleased. From Divinity College I up and fled As Evangelists often bleed. I became a teacher in a school But they banished all school prayer. Some Godless people who were fools Left morality behind right there. I went into the Army Thinking I could hide myself away. But soldiers often came to me Asking me to share my faith. And then I became a Deputy Looking to burrough in some holes. But God reached out and chastised me To witness to criminal souls. Then He knocked me on my back And almost took my life. Do you think He had my attention? Why not right then that night. My heart grew weak from heart attacks. Diabetes robbed me of sight. Then I became bedridden Where I will stay the rest of my life. He finally got the attention Of this old ailing running man. Now I must write what He sends to me Before I no longer can. So often I hear from strangers All over this whole wide world Who say that I have touched them, And even their boys and girls. Not all these folks are Christians. Some are Muslims and some Hindu. Have I become an Evangelist Lord Even though I ran from you?
