Diletta (God’s Delight) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

With ailment though of grave concern
She walks God’s chosen way
So young and yet she’s come to learn
That death could call each day

She walks the walk but not alone
She speaks of life so sweet
Seeking advice from Heaven’s throne
Sitting at Jesus’ feet

Though Satan’s out to cheat and kill
Though life seems not too fair
She knows she’s in her Saviour’s will
She knows she’s in His care

She knows The Shepherd’s guiding voice
She’s learned the art to fight
She’s made God’s Son her life long choice
And knows His way is right

With daily song of God’s true love
With joyful foot astride
With searching eye now trained above
She walks as Jesus’ bride

Through Jesus’ blood now born again
She’s fled the devil’s jaws
With head held high through gloom and pain
She aims for Heaven’s Doors

With love and warmth in constant flow
Faithful her sacred vow
Radiating her Saviour’s glow
Hand firm upon His Plough

Whatever now this life may bring
What future God has planned
Eternity will see her sing
Within The Promised Land...
