Michael P. Johnson Poems

The world wants all her eyes can see
When full she’ll seek for more
Yet nothing found can set her free
Nor close death’s gaping jaw
...

Before Spirit comes to stay
Before Christ comes to reign
Before God’s Lamb can have His way
The righteous suffer pain
...

An average life is awfully brief
But three score years and ten
Yet what takes place when like a thief?
God’s Son returns again?
...

In secular things I felt so smart
To things of God a fool
But life saw change when in the heart
Heaven began to rule
...

I looked inside, then all around
My life was plain in view
Accounting to the treasures found
I found I needed You
...

“I’m fighting back to You my Lord
I’m trying every day
Allow me please return on board
Don’t sail from me away
...

“Come you laden and burdened down
Each sinner now distressed
Receive from me a golden crown
Receive eternal rest
...

Why do we war against The Lord?
How can we fight our King?
What foolishness could man afford?
To dam life’s only Spring
...

Amazing Grace The Morning Star
The Father’s Light and Love
The voice still calling as we are
Be clean; for life above
...

The devil’s chains, once had me bound
Within my loathsome jail
Until the day God’s truth I found
And Jesus; paid my bail
...
