Today... 'The God Who Holds My Breath In His Hand' Poem by Roy Allen

Although I fought for every breath
Jesus took away my fear of death.
There were times I felt I’d had enough.
Times when the going really got tough.

I’ve always felt His presence with me here
For I’m not alone and need not fear.
Spending valuable time with Him each day
has changed my life in every way.

I knew He was just one breath away
and looked forward to that wondrous day.
When Jesus would say, “Come home my dear.”
“It’s time for you to leave this earthly sphere.”

In this world nothing can ever compare
with His great love and His tender care.
And now He’s called, “My child come to me.”
“Come and live with me for eternity.”

Nothing was going to hold me back
my mortal body was just a shack.
I closed my eyes and drew my last breath
then walked with Jesus the Vale of death.

Thanks for reading this. I hope you’ll see
that a new life has begun for me.
There’s one last thing I would like to say
“Remember, God’s just one breath away.”
