Jesus was in my room this morning.
I don’t know why He came.
Unless it was the prayer last night
in which I called His name.
——————————————————-
It was too early for any daylight,
so I didn’t view His face.
But His love was present in the dark
and soon filled up the place.
——————————————————-
The early morning was cold outside,
blanketed by a frost.
But I realized with Jesus at hand
nary a hope was lost.
——————————————————-
I’d spent the night in an awful gloom,
ashamed of my many sins.
I’d prayed that God would open my heart
and let His Son come in.
——————————————————-
But I had not received an answer,
at least I didn’t think so.
Till I awoke and felt Jesus’ presence,
then I began to know.
——————————————————-
To know that my prayer had been answered,
to know how much He cares.
To know that He is my Comforter,
to know my pain He shares.
——————————————————-
And then I noticed some light outside,
cast by a rising sun.
Soon the entire house began to stir,
for a new day had begun.
——————————————————-
So I cried, “My dear precious Jesus,
please do not leave me now.
For I have to start this brand new day
and I’m just not sure how.
——————————————————-
You’ve only just arrived to my room
for the early morning light.”
Then a voice said, “I’ll never leave you,
don’t you know I spent the night?”
