How Salvation Works

When the Apostle Paul entered into Heaven He wasn't a disciple with the eleven, A sinful man he was once known as and chartered But, he entered to the cheers of those he martyred. He once was a very sinful and a unGodly man Destroying Christianity was his job, his plan, Without pain or sorrow or remorse or any regret He smiled and held the cloaks as they stoned Stephen to death. Then Jesus he saw and unto his voice he did listen Then Saul became Paul becoming a Christian, A sinful man he truly once was Now instead of hate, his heart then was full of salvation and love. See that sinful person standing way over there To which you give no smile, hope or even care, Curses and insults and damnation to him you call Who knows, your name might also be Saul. That persons lifestyle you might vehemently object Love and help for them you always reject, Then as you pick up a stone to throw You hear a voice or see a vision of salvation telling you, "no! ". The devil will close your eyes and shut your ear So, you'll know what he wants you to see and hear, Then when hate, prejudice and racism you are seeking That's the devil showing and speaking. The devil don't want you to turn the other cheek Truth and forgiveness he doesn't want you to seek, Whatever other people does He wants you to speak hate and not forgiveness and love. Before that first stone that you ever toss Or before the first nail that you hammer into the cross, Before you hold onto others jackets and coats Remember, what the Devil promises and promotes. That person might not follow on how you believe Maybe the devil caused the heart to lie and to deceive, But, with love, peace and forgiveness and Jesus as the perks Remember, that is how salvation works.
