He touched me once

And I touched Him back

And instantly realized there was more to life

Than what I had been led to believe

He moved me and I let go to His flow

His perfect time and space-

Life hasn't been the same since

He spoke to me

And I listened and spoke back

In a way no language could express

No pen, typewriter or word processor could write

He filled me with His Spirit

Until I was ready to abide in His

Joining me to His family forever

That I could have eternal life

He worked his power through me

That I could know what it is like

To be like Him

To be His god-son

His love

And when the day came

To realize how perfectly inseparable we were

He told me I was His friend

And He mine

And I wept with unutterable joy

For having said 'yes'

To the most important question

Anyone can be asked
