Sink or Float

Sink or Float

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me....I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now, I see."~John Newton

Here I float, in the cold,
Wondering if,
I should sink or float.
I look around, at some going down
So I think, do I sink or do I float?
I agree at last to fallow my comrades
And begin to sink, slow and sad
As I sink the light grows dim
As I sink, I wonder, how long until this ends
Before to long I am there at last
I have found the bottom of a mast
The mast of a ship with many souls, much like mine, lost at sea with the question.
do I sink or do I float?
They chose like me to go on down until they hit the darkness of the deep
We’ve all been there a thousand time
at the end where no light shines
And like the rest, we begin to die.

I refuse to go down like the rest!
A sudden thump in my chest !

wakes me from this cold dark slumber
and I begin to wonder
Do I sink or do I float

Now I float from this ship and I become a beacon to the rest. I head for what little light, I can see from my little height,
My dark cloak begins to fade, as the darkness fades away,
I head towards the crashing waves way up high
Is this all in vain?
Half way up I stop and rest and look down at the rest
I wonder now to my self is the worth the work? Worth the Pain?

I see the souls, on the ship,
And now I begin to miss, the darkness of the deep,
And once again I begin to sink until at last, I find, that single mast,
That single mast of the ship I sailed,
sailing in and out, of this cold dark hell
The souls of my comrades, in black cloaks, drags me down,
I have had all I can and now I am, truly alone with all these comrades,
I see the light, at the top,
and leave my comrades at last, and that single ships mast
As I float my dingy cloak, wastes away, to a new clean white
As I reach the very height I break free
Free at last from hells cold dark grasp
I cough and spit as my lungs fill with air at last.

At the surface I look around,
to my left I see a boat as I float all alone the boat comes near,
and soon I begin to hear
a voice so sweet,
sweet and clear, I cannot believe these ears,
In this boat, is a man, old as time, and as young as me
To me he gave a helping hand
And said to me
“I am the light and the way, fallow me and you will live forever in eternity with me.”
I took his hand and said to him
“Count me in, they call me John , I have been to the dark and now am in the light, lead and I will fallow, so that I may lead others in your path. ”

I no longer wonder to sink or float; I have seen that cold dark hell and never want to tell again
Of that place where all is lost
Here I sit now, in the warmth of the light fallowing in eternity the one they call Jesus Christ.
