9-1-1 Prayer

By Barbara Jones

I have to stop, I don’t know what

God is doing, bringing to my thoughts

All of sudden, like an emergency

I don’t understand, but am praying urgently

9-1-1

I’m feeling like, I’m gonna die

If I don’t get out the junk inside

Crowding my mind and riding my back

Like a 100 # potato sack

God, when, oh when, will you be back

Cause I keep on seeking and praying a lot

Jesus, help me, tell me, what do I lack

Fill this vessel, just take this sack

Lord, I’m Barbara, and I have found

The more I know you, I can’t get enough

I’d rather die, then lose your sweet love

I dial 9-1-1 to you in prayer

Thanks, I feel better, and I can breathe

What are you doing in me, tell me please

You just whisper “Trust I use your faith to see

Just help me, Jesus, and set me free

Calgon may take me away in the tub

But, I’ve heard your love is higher than earth

Stars and planets, there’s no telling

What you have in store for me in Heaven

The whole universe, forever, together

I’m hanging up from 911

I’ve got it all, when I have your love

I feel excited about the mystery

I have CHRISTmas now and eternally

“I am here,” he says, I say, “Hello”

He says, “I AM, your forever your 911 hero”

Friend, I hope you pray 911 and see

Jesus will always answer you like he did me

He waits to hear from you and me

He’s not mad at us, just bow your knees

Confess out loud, you accept Jesus

He never rejects, says “no” to us

It’s time, just come, just come and say “Hello”

Confess out loud to  your “sin hero”

He’s cleared the way, forgiven your sin

Jesus reaches out his hand to you, my friend

You don’t know if tomorrow will come,

Now, is the time to surrender

He’s calling you home, It’s your free will

Pray “9-1-1, whosoever will
