“ALL ARE WELCOME”
 
  “From humble dirt grows golden wheat
Yet man when full of pride
Will see it perish in the street
Than bring it safe inside

Too much a church can be refined
It grows to be a sin
Through self her eyes become so blind
Till others can’t come in!

Once saved some think they’ve grown so clean
They’re now the righteous few
Believing nought can come between
Because they’re born anew

But Christ must always have a place
God’s Word must reign on high
Each one who comes must seek His face
Or else that; church will die

The Door to God is open wide
His hands are still apart
Christ welcomes “ALL” to come inside
Who’d love Him with their heart

So lift your head and wear a smile
Let joy in churches reign
Masses will either run a mile
Or turn to Christ again

No factions, cliques, allow to form
God’s flock must serve Him free
To board the ark ride out the storm
Upon life’s raging sea

Who knows how long on pounding waves
We’ll need to stay afloat
So welcome “ALL” who Jesus saves
Who’ll come into the Boat”

Michael P. Johnson

This is so lovely Michael, a superb write and such a meaningful poem. A delight to read and you are so right in its contents I have come across the righteous few and I really don't think they can call themselves christian.
Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
