I’m swimming, but I feel like I’m going to drown,
I’m floating on the water, but soon I will go down.
I’m getting weak; I can no longer sustain myself,
My body is debilitated; I can’t continue by myself.
I’m without strength; I can no longer fight,
All indicates that this is the end of my life.
My eyes are closing; I can’t see the light,
There is nothing more to do; the death is on my side.
I’m sinking quickly; soon, I’ll no longer breathe,
The waters are pulling me down; they will bury me in the deep seabed.
At this moment, I have no hope of surviving,
I just hope to sink and die soon, without much suffering.
I’m unconscious; my life is slipping away,
Everything is over; I will die today.
Something happened; someone went to the bottom to rescue me,
He is doing his best to save me.
He pulled me from the deep waters, he is trying to revive me,
I feel like he would even give his own life to save me.
He doesn’t give up; he persists; he doesn’t want to lose me,
He is sacrificing himself for me, so, that I can live.
I begin to wake up and see a man smiling at me,
He says, “You’re not going to die now; this is not your end”
Confused, I reply, “Who are you, after all, and why did you act so tremendous?”
He replied, “I am Jesus, and I did all this because I love you.”
I was astonished by the words He spoke,
I couldn’t believe that I was saved by the Great Lord.
Before all this, I thought that no one cared about me,
But now everything was different; I was saved by the One I didn’t foresee.
Jesus continued to speak many words of love,
He said that He was the life, the peace, the mercy, the Savior.
He comforted me, reassured me, calmed me,
From that moment on, I could see how much Jesus loved me,
And I decided that for the rest of my life, I would keep those words with glee.
