RUNNING MAN

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?
