Help Wanted!



Hi again. Remember me?
Guess not. Just another face in the crowd.
That was some pretty cool music the other day.
Any chance of hearing more sometime?
I went forward at the end. Followed the crowd.
Prayed a prayer, asked this Jesus guy to be my Lord.
Do you know anything about that?
Was kinda hoping you did. I have lot's of questions.
Life changed then. Got a whole lot weirder.
I sense someone talking to me when I get real quiet.
But I feel calm about it. Seems normal.
Maybe you can tell me what I need to do next.
What happened to the others who went forward.
Maybe you have some friends I can meet with.
You seem like you have your life together,
how did you get that way?
The preacher guy said I was real important
will you help me? You will?
I was hoping to become more than a face in the crowd!
