Jesus walked down the aisle today 
at half past noon as we began to
pray.
He was touching hearts.
Tears of joy began to flow.
The band was playing something
soft and slow.
Jesus stopped by me for a moment
and paused as He heard me
whisper my prayer.
That’s how I met Jesus in the aisle 
of that old church as He held me
tightly there.
I turned everything over to Him
that day.
I followed Him up to the altar we
began to pray.
A new life began as an old one
died.
Jesus knew it all.
I sat there and cried.
I met Jesus in the aisle of an old
church that day and that made all the difference.
I changed my way.
