Michael P. Johnson Poems

What foolishness, we’ve come to share
The devil, laughs in scorn
Even the Christian name we bear
Is oft unjustly worn
...

No longer streets are safe to walk
Houses are locked and barred
We must beware to whom we talk
To whom we give regard
...

Time, for many has been so long
I’ve heard my children’s cry
Prepare to sing your wedding song
Your Groom is drawing nigh
...

You say my love for you has gone
But Satan’s made you blind
For in my life I’ve found God’s Son
I’ve no one else in mind
...

“I saw a door so tall and wide
It wasn’t locked I walked inside
I heard a scream “Please set me free”
Oh Lord my God don’t turn the key
...

A veil hung in God’s holy place
Between the Lord and human race
High priests alone could enter in
...

God’s secret of His Son is out –1Co.2: 7
The world believes absurd –1Co.1: 18
To see we need to cast off doubt –Jn.20: 29
And recognize His Word –Jn.13: 20
...

Our risen Lord is heard and seen –1Co.15: 4-8
Throughout the book of life –Jn.8: 58
A shadow but to Jesus’ queen –Lk.8: 10
The church His faithful wife
...

Mankind behaved like wayward fools
Whilst having all and more
We failed to keep creation’s rules
So Heaven closed the door
...

Giving and taking wilful hands
Before God’s throne we bow
To place on fingers golden bands
As symbols of a vow
...
