"And Saul.... fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" (Acts 9:1-6).
The Lord will ask each sinner why,
As He once did to Saul.
He'll listen for a right reply,
As to each one He'll call.
We do not need to hear a voice
Or see a brilliant light
For us to make a prudent choice,
Responding to Him right.
The questions we should ask are two:
The first: Who are You, Lord?
And then: What will You have me do?
In honesty outpoured.
How merciful is God to those
Who rightly have replied
To Jesus Christ who died and rose
For those He justified!
