Scan Mode

The pickup radio was in scan mode
Traveling over a rural highway
Words from the speaker flowed
'Jesus said to him, I am the way...'

Couldn't stop the scan quick enough
It went to the end of Highway to Hell
Thinking an eternity in hell would be rough
I wondered what else Jesus had to tell

Up ahead was a small church on a hill
Looks like  some people are going in
Maybe I should stop, I think I will
I'm tired of the way I love to sin

When I got there everyone was inside
It reminded me of one I went to once as a child
A man at the door said 'hello' and I replied
'Welcome' he said as he shook my hand and smiled

I made my way to a seat in the last row
Maybe about thirty people were there
Wanting to be near the door if I decided to go
The same man went to the front and said a prayer

We sang the hymn That Old Rugged Cross
Followed by Grandpa's favorite, Amazing Grace
Then a sermon on how mankind is lost
But there is one way to heaven and to see God's face

By the end of it, I was ready to burst
Before I knew it, I stood and said with a shout
I am a believer and I want to be submersed
Jesus Christ is the only way, I have know doubt

The man beckoned me to his stump
We prayed about my salvation and repentance
Satan will no longer have this chump
With the help of Jesus, I can stop my life of decadence
