NAPOWRIMO 2016 DAY 26

Write a poem that incorporates a call and response.



OH LORD SAVE MY SOUL


Down a long country road
By the wayside on the way back
From visiting the sick and shut-in
Rev stopped for peanuts and
Pepsi cola at a store in the woods
I heard by the edge of the road a
Church revival service going on
People singing

Come by here good Lord
Come by here

Mourners on their knees
At the altar bench praying
For salvation

Somebody need you Lord
Come by here

They prayed a mantra repeatedly
Feverishly
Oh Lord save my soul
Oh Lord save my soul

Somebody's praying Lord
Come by here

A mourner leaps up in faith
Yelling and shouting thank God
I found Jesus thank God I found Jesus

Oh Lord
Come by here

Parishioners led the new-born Christian
Away filled with the holy spirit
Singing thank
God I found Jesus
