I’ve seen more than the eye can see
when death became my friend,
When all around my body saw
The doctors scurrying around!
It’s only now that years are past, do I begin to tell
Of things that blessed, and witnessed I
Shall never in my life, forget!
I saw my Heavenly Brother
Or as others call His name –
Christ, Redeemer, Emanuel
But still He’s Heavenly Brother,
Of that I won’t be shamed!
Impressed my soul, for as it was
(My body see, was somewhere else),
Impressed upon my being whole
The Spirit, or the Holy Ghost
(As He’s known to me!)
My Heavenly Father, of all mankind
How I couldn’t see His face,
But knowledge that indeed ’twas Him
That came from Holy grace!
And now my friends, this tale you hear,
Came with convicted truth –
From one who shouldn’t deserve this.
But through Faith
Became the Truth!

” I’ve seen..” deals sensitively and maturely with what can prove to be a difficult subject for many. It is a fine example of Faith-centred poetry skilfully wrought.
