Story Challenge Update: One Chance

Well, well. I was thinking of what I was going to write for the story challenge, so I finally figured I would just do a smaller scale version of the idea I posted about earlier. My original idea was going to be VERY VERY thorough, detailed, suspenseful, adventurous, and challenging. But I believe I will just do something small for now. It is hard to cry over your computer. (Some of you may know I tend to write tear-jerkers.) As a teaser, I think I will present you with the words to a song I wrote about the story idea, called “One Chance.” I know it’s just not the same without the music; I am really hoping to make the music available to you soon!

You came here through the rainy storms
Hoping you’d find one of your own.
But when you found her could you understand
That she left her own to call this land
Her home.
Not for ambition, not for an idea, not in search of something more
But for men’s souls and the glory of the Lord.

She came here through the water and the fire
She came with one great desire
To tell the men who had never heard
That the God who loved them sent His Word
In the flesh.
Not for ambition, not for an idea, not in search of something more
But for men’s souls and the glory of the Lord.

Who would give his life for one chance?
Who would put his all at risk for one’s eternal life?
Is a stranger worth just one chance?
To save the heathen’s soul for Jesus Christ;
What if you had just one chance?
Would you die
For one chance
To save his soul?
One chance.

To a man whose language is not my own
How can I explain Calvary
If I had just one chance?
One chance.

Uhoh, I hope I didn’t just give the whole story away! Haha, but really, this is the predominant message in it. Tell me what you think; I am desperate for your views!
