The old shoemaker was tired. He wanted to die and be with the Lord. Or at least,
he would like the Lord to visit him. One day he thought he heard a voice in his prayer.
The voice said, “Tomorrow I will come to your shop.” Overjoyed, the cobbler went to
work, fully expecting to see the Lord. But as the day went on, nothing out of the ordinary
happened. An older woman came in complaining about some boys stealing her apples.
Since he knew the boys, the cobbler called them in and talked with them. The boys said
they would stop. The older adult was pleased.
Then a fellow down on his luck came in. He needed a meal. The cobbler told him
about the Mission in the city. But the fellow was not acquainted with the town. So, the
cobbler walked him there. Hurrying back, the cobbler waited for the Lord. Late in the
day, a girl came in. He knew her. She said her father was sick and needed help. The
cobbler again left his work and went with the girl to get a doctor for her father.…

while singing at a frequency of 1220 Hz.
