The testimony

"In the depths of darkness, I lay weak and powerless

In a prison cell, my fragile body, my humble spirit

Days without food, my soul was vanishing

Until they took me to the hospital, where I faced the struggle

In the parking lot, a vision struck my sight

A burned car, a devouring demon, a sad spectacle

The sky turned red, a sandstorm unleashed

I felt the heat, the sting of sulfur, my new heart

Angelic whispers resonated in my ear

"Do not fear, dear one, for you are here"

I could not believe it, was this the gate of hell?

The words of the prophet Joel, a vision, a destiny

I boarded the bus, my eyes closed tight

Through the red desert, a journey of terror

Chained like me, a man sat beside me

But his clothes were different, not prison attire

I thought he was dead, a soul from the depths of hell

But then he vanished, like a fleeting spirit

The bus continued on its way, a dark embrace of the tunnel

Until the revelation, a divine grace

A blessing from above, a new beginning of life

A journey through the depths, to reach the heart

And I knew I was alive, that I had been saved

Thanks to the grace of God, who had forgiven me

And from that day on, my life changed completely

And I will always be grateful for that divine revelation."
