 Giving Back

Giving Back ~ Martin's Journey of Hope 

All was quiet, out on the street

I was lonely, with no one to meet

Until, I met a guy

He had that sparkle in his eye

He told me there is a place

Where I could rest for awhile.

We drove in his car for half the day.

Not a word spoken nothing to say.

Have I had enough of doing it my way?

I guess it’s time to do it his way.

We pulled up to the door of that place

He gave me shoes, and said Go shave your face.

He showed me my room

And said get some rest

See you tomorrow, God Bless.

The next morning I saw him again

He asked, “How are you my friend?”

He said “You look better today

Come on let’s go to the chapel and pray.

Later on he came back to talk to me.

He smiled and said Welcome to the ARC

If you want to stay, sign right here

You’ll learn so much in half a year!

I prayed Lord

Help me see these six months through.

I’m going to stay,

I’m going to stay here and listen to you.

I thank you Lord

I choose to follow you.

I praise you Lord

For all those things you do.

All was quiet out on the street

He looked lonely with no one to meet

I used to be just like you

I told him there is a place

Where you can rest for awhile.

I prayed Lord

Help him see these six months through

I hope he stays

I hope he stays and listens to you

I thank you Lord

For following you.

I praise you Lord,

For getting me through.
