(Tom wakes up)
TOM: Mom, Dad, where on earth am I
What has happened to me and why
JOHN: You're in the hospital from an injury
Fell and hit your head at the fraternity party
SALLY: Don't be afraid, son, we are right here
God spared your life, by His loving care
Your arms and legs have some limitations
The doctor wants you to start rehabilitation
TOM: If God is really all you claim Him to be
Then why can't He just magically fix me
Go away and leave me alone, I want to die
I will never get better, it is all just a big lie
JOHN: Son, we love you very much and trust Dr. Nee
I now have faith in God and He is changing me
Please don't give up before you even try therapy
It will be hard, take it step by step, wait and see
TOM: Basketball was my whole life and dream
What if it is now over as it would seem
After the construction accident of Matt
I could be permanently injured like that
SALLY: Our finite minds cannot understand God's ways
We have His promise that He is with us always
(prays) Lord, Tom is angry and facing issues of denial
Help him see he can trust You through this trial
TOM: I want to believe in God like you, Mom and Dad
But how can He accept me when I have been so bad
I remember before that night, I had horrible dreams
I sensed tragedy there, denying what it could mean
TOM: I should have listened to the voice of my conscience
But instead I made a stupid choice just like a dunce
Will God even forgive me for what I have done
How can therapy help make the damage undone
JOHN: At first, I blamed myself when you called Wed. night
I should have listened, sensing you were not alright
Your Mom said to take all my fears to God in prayer
He answered by calling me to put my faith in Him there
TOM: Thanks, Dad and I am sorry I was not honest with you
Would you explain how I can have faith in God, too
JOHN: (Shares with Tom everything Sally had said on Saturday
Tom prays and asks Jesus to come into his life that day)
(Tom's attitude is completely changed when rehab starts the next week)
