ONE MAN’S STORY
Written & Read by Jacqueline S. ClevelandMusic by The Talley’s
Let me tell you story that I promise is true
It may seem familiar because it not very new
It’s about a man beaten down by the World’s awful games.
Once a proud and strong man now full of sin and shame.
The Devil had his fun; and started up a fight.
Beating this man senseless it was an awful sight
They left him in the gutter to die, no use to anyone
Until that precious day when he met the risen Son
To that Hill called Calvary this man just simply went
To surrounded his broken life, that seemed already spent
Those burdens rolled off his back into the deep blue sea
The chains and shackles were gone and he was set free
Then the Angels stop and listen, with hearts so full of cheer
Not a noise in heaven could be heard, as the music grew near
Then a song broke forth that made the entire Heaven’s ring
“Praise God, I’ve been redeemed” the man began to sing
Then all at once the angels let out a victory shout
They strike up the band, and dance all about
Cause never will you hear any angel sing that song
For only to the sinner saved by grace does that belong
Because Jesus paid a high price so ever long ago
So He can take a blacken heart, make it white as snow
Then create a new man and give him a new start
A new life, a clean soul and a joyful heart.
But the journey seem hard at first on the narrow way
The man at first struggled and falls, but never will he stray
For he learned that only way that he could ever stand
Was on his knees, holding tight to Jesus’ mighty hand
Then when the dark night came and clouds hid the light
The enemy came in; he felt he was loosing the fight
Where did Jesus go? He use to be so near
The man knew he shouldn’t be scared but oh how he feared
He felt he was walking through the Valley of Death
He wondered when he would take his last and final breath
This was to much to bear the burden was to great
He knew he had to trust but would be his fate?
Then silence fell, as the morning began to break
The wounded soldier stirred then started to awake
Where once he stood in that great battle’s heat
He now stood with his enemies’ dead and around his feet
The battle was too great, the night oh so long
But there was only One who can ever be so strong
To wipe out the enemies to make them all fall
The One and only, my All in All
In that great battle O’ how he had cried
But now his heart overflowed with joy inside
On that battle field where he barely had a chance
Now you can see a man doing a grateful dance
For when you have the King of kings riding by your side
You have the Greatest Warrior you will ever find
For one things for sure and will always stay the same
Enemies will always tremble at the mention of His
name
From mountain tops to valley low, place he has gone
From tragedies to miracles, yet the man journeyed on
He did his duties faithful he had a servant’s heart
Faithful in the little thing he did his little part
So when death came to take this man away
It was then that he could hear Jesus simply say
“Thou good and faithful servant, I must say well done
You will rule with me and your life has just begun.”
So into the same arms that brought him out of sin
Into the same arms that now welcome him in
Forever in heaven he will always be
To Worship and Praise and to Sing
But as I come to a close this story now must end
Yet there is one last message that I promise I would send
Remember this man, who life story I just share
Tell it to your family and friend for whom you care
Jesus is your Savior and your closes friend
Bread of Life, Almighty in whom you can depend
Press towards the mark of heaven that’s above
And don’t forget to show neighborly love
So when death comes to take you away
You will also hope that you will hear Jesus say
“Thou good and faithful servant, I must say well done
You will rule with me and your life has just begun”
