On the Dusty Road to Damascus

On the dusty road to Damascus 

The Aramean "pearl of the East"

Praised for its forests so lush

There traveled Saul a Pharisee

Saul, who raged in fury night and day

Held in his hand authority to fight

And kill all who belonged to "the Way"

Meaning any who followed Christ

He the zealous persecutor

Of the followers of Christ

Had approved the stoning of Stephen

Boy, was he in for a surprise

He watched for the occasional stone

As at the tall grass he looked around

Suddenly a bright light shone

Blinding him. He fell to the ground 

From the brightness came a voice

Why are you persecuting me?" it said

What? Jesus was the Lord of all, choice?

He had helped and rejoiced when He was dead!

Surely he thought, "I am dead!" as terror filled his heart 

From darkness into Light Saul asked what he should do

His place among the followers, he fasted and prayed to start

Then received the gift of Holy Ghost and saw anew

The blind can be pricked to see

And find all they'd been missing

The Lord erases sin and fear

Repent and "Be of good cheer"

Acts 22

And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. 10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. 11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. 12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, 13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. 14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. 15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
