Romans 7:14- Part 2
A/N- Ok, here's the second part of my fic. I hope it's better than the
first. Please write some honest reviews at the end. Thanx to everyone
who reviewed last time. :) (By the way, this is set in 02)
Tai ran his fingers through his mop of chestnut hair worriedly as
he paced.
"She seemed so lost and scared, and I just walked out on her! I'm
such a jerk!" he thought.
His mindless pacing had led him into the kitchen. He was ravenous,
but the very thought of food at the moment was repulsing. He snarled
disgustedly at the refrigerator and walked back into the living room.
Instead of the TV, he accidentally flipped on the CD changer. It
made a sort of growling noise, then settled on CD 3. When the music
came on, Tai immediately knew it was his FFH CD. He switched it
to song 9, "Only You." He sat down on the couch and really listened
to the words.
What can I say to you
To make you understand
All the things I do
And the way they fit in the Master's plan.
What can I say to you
To make you not ask why
I always prayed for you
I can't forget no matter how hard I try.
Cause the world
Keeps on spinning round and round
And it seems you're spinning
Up-side-down
Only you can
Save my soul and
Only you can
Make me whole again
Only you can
See the need in me
And fill the need
Completely. (Yeah)
What can I say tonight
To erase all your doubt
To brighten up your eyes
To show what love is all about
What can I say tonight
To crack the ice
To make you realize
That I can see through your disguise.
Cause the world
Keeps on spinning round and round
And it seems you're spinning
Up-side-down
Only you can
Save my soul and
Only you can
Make me whole again
Only you can
See the need in me
And fill the need
Completely.
(Though you run away
You can never run too far away.
From the moment he put you in this place
He's calling you to take your sins away.....)
Only you can
Save my soul and
Only you can
Make me whole again
Only you can
See the need in me
And fill the need in me
Completely...............
Tai felt tears in his eyes when the song faded out. He bowed his
head on clasped hands and spoke to God:
"Lord, this is what you were trying to tell me, wasn't it?
That I can't help really help Sora;that the transaction is between
You and her. If I can't help her there Lord, give me the knowledge
and compassion to do what I can. Please. I don't want her to go
through alone, like I did. I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen."
As Tai sat up, there was a sudden furious pounding at the front door.
"Who's here at 10:30 at night?" he wondered aloud.
He opened the door and there stood Sora, in red plaid pajamas
and Bible in hand, her face streaked with tears.
"Tai," she said shakily,"I need your help."
He stood back from the door and let her inside.She slowly made her
way to the couch with the Bible clutched to her chest. Tai followed
in suit, and sat down beside her. She turned to him with her head
down and said quietly,
"I don't understand this. Tai, He's speaking to me, but I don't know
what He wants."
Tai was stunned. Was God trying to save her? He said a silent prayer:
"Please show me something that will help."
He took the Bible from her hands and to his surprise it fell open
to John 6:35.
"Sora, listen to this." and he read:
Jesus replied,"I am the Bread of Life. No one coming to me will
ever be hungry again. Those believing in me will never thirst.
But the trouble is, as I have told you before, you haven't believed
even though you have seen me.
But some will come to me-those who the Father has given to me-
and I will never, never reject them. For I have come here from
heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to have my own way.
And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those
he has given me, but that I should raise them to eternal life
at the Last Day. For it is my Father's will that everyone who sees
his Son and believes on him should have eternal life-that I should raise
him at the Last Day.
Tai looked up from his reading and saw that Sora had her face in
her hands. Tears were leaking out of the gaps between her fingers.
He put down the book and prayed for her.
Sora had figured out what she needed to do, but she wasn't quite
sure how to word what she wanted to say. So, she did the best
she could.
"Ok God, I'm gonna try my best at this. Lord, I know I'm a sinner
and am not worthy of you. But please, forgive me of my sins.
Come into my heart and mind and be the Lord of my life. I ask this
in Jesus' name, Amen."
Sora felt a tremendous weight being lifted from her. She was a totally
new person. She sat up and looked to Tai, who was smiling gently.
She reached over and pulled him into her embrace.
"Thank you." she whispered in his ear.
"For what?" he whispered back.
"For showing me the way."
She pulled back so she could see his face. She leaned up a little,
and she kissed him with all the fire she could muster. This surprised
him, and he fell back a bit. His hane hit the remote for the CD changer
and FFH came back on.
Do you feel His love fall
All over you?
Warming you
As the sun.
Can you feel the light shine
On your face?
Making the shadows run
Far, far away.
So is His love
So is His grace
So is the Lord
Come trust his name.
See your life renewed.
He's the way
Of today,
Yesterday,
And to come so I will
Sing of your praise
All of my days.
Walk in your hope
Stand in your home.
A/N- So? Was it a worthy sequel? I love this part! The songs
were from the FFH CD "I Wanna Be Like You." Please review!
I wanna know what you think! :)
