Dear Doctor I've Something to Say
Please Be Patient, Listen Carefully
Dear Doctor, I've a problem, no it's not a new illness, ache or pain.
My problem is quite serious, I'll try not to complain.
I don't really mean to waste your time.
I'm trying hard to explain without mime
You see I really do want to do all that you say.
But dear doctor, there are some things I must pay.
Having ran into many obstacles through the years,
Days, weeks, years, have passed as we've worked to pay the arrears-
Living paycheck to paycheck, savings zapped often for auto repairs.
Stress, and bills increased, time not on my side, life turning towards despair.
Employment options dwindling fast.
Youth and strength as my health soon are past.
Looking around I've found all my savings, all my money has gone to never ending bills.
You see dear doctor, I can't be ill; I can't agree with you that I need a pill.
Now doctor don't worry, it's not due to some strange belief that I state I can't be ill.
It is for one fact and one only, that I cannot be ill; it is due to the bill.
Stress and life happen one day at a time, often taking up much of my time.
Perhaps, this would be better in mime.
Now doctor don't you worry, I plan to pay all these medical bills.
Another medical bill I cannot afford, I've made a budget, and it doesn't include more pills.
You see dear doctor something you don't know.
Is I've started a new project, a new budget; I just need a little more time, before I go.
Mistakes I made many years ago I need to fix.
Clearly you can see more medical bills don't mix.
You see dear doctor I've heard what you say.
Sincerely and really I have, but dear doctor there is a problem, I cannot pay.
Genetics and environment against me, economic instability very much mine to claim.
Many familiar faces I could justifiably blame.
But dear doctor, I've chosen to face the mirror and see the one who needs to apply.
Grown old now, listen to many fables and lies.
Tired now of reading every new report of what is good, and what is bad.
Knowing there is but one constant fact of life, now don't you be mad.
But dear doctor, no matter how I try.
I know for certain, lest the rapture arrives' from this world I'll never survive.
You see dear doctor, for all your procedures, technology, and passion, we all die.
The Bible the word of God it is true, it is appointed once for all to die, this is no lie.
Dear doctor all your care it is appreciated, this is true, a comfort and a peace.
But dear doctor, time and genetics are soon to cause this fleshly body to cease.
But don't despair and don't worry, because you've not failed.
A security you provided when I've ailed.
Now dear doctor, if my physical health is neglected beyond repair. Remember I'll still be okay.
This body of mine you've treated many a time, it is but a shell that will decay.
But listen carefully dear doctor; I've no desire to leave this place.
Not till my debt is fully paid. I'd like to leave this shell in full grace.
Now my soul that debt has been fully paid.
As it was a debt I could never pay without the Saviour's aid.
Many times I know you've been upset with a patient such as I.
One who waits so long to come by.
But don't worry dear doctor it is not that I don't wish to see you.
It is the bill, that I cannot pay today, but don't worry, my health is improving. This is true.
Even as closer to death this body walks, my soul is ever closer to life eternally.
Life will soon end for you and me. Are you ready?
You see dear doctor this life is just a passing mist.
Soon one day all of our names even yours will be read from a list.
Not a list of ailments, and complaints, not a list of debts, but from a list that is contained within the Book of Life.
Nothing else will matter on that day; all that will matter is if you've accepted the one who paid for all our strife.
Dear doctor, if I do not see you on time. Do not worry, it isn't you, it is the bill.
I've genetics, environment, and economics against me still.
What I've against me today will not follow me always.
One day I'll walk through the solitary gate debt-free knowing it is with my Saviour I'll stay.
Heaven's true, as is Hell, a place as real to the soul as all that can be seen in this physical world.
One day every soul that's ever been conceived will be bound by a secure cord.
Dear doctor when you treat your patients never forget; it is the soul that has the most need.
Every soul has a great need, the need to be redeemed.
Dear doctor I may due to my neglect face death much sooner than average for my age.
But dear doctor my physical body it is but a passing page.
Take heed, listen to these words, and listen with care.
With you the secret to life eternal I tried to share.
Listen carefully, because the soul it has no second chance, once is all.
The physical body, it is but a shell soon cast away, a walking sepulcher housing a soul that soon will hear a final call.
Soon standing before a heavenly throne, every soul will stand.
My dear friends will you stand alone, or have you taken The Master's Hand.
He'll hold you tight.
He's able to keep you from Hell's, burning fright.
But my dear friend, first you must trust and believe.
It is the only way; it is by faith, through grace, that we are free.
