Give It Up Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Don’t waste this life on earth my friend
In such a sinful way
The time we’ve left is sure to end
Then comes the judgement day

Make no mistake its coming fast
But fools would say its not
Your breath today could be your last
God knows how long we’ve got

Like most I thought that sin was fun
So much have I to tell
But gave it up for Christ God’s Son
Who taught me truth so well

I know you’ve heard it all before
Yet God you gave no mind
But dying fools can find no door
If they my friend are blind

Let go of sin and foolish doubt
Take heed the truth I say
Look up and see what God’s about
Try Jesus Christ today!

You’ve nought to lose but all to gain
I speak to you no lie
Christ says in whom He comes to reign
Will live no more to die

God’s offer yet remains my friend
His word remains the same
Through Christ God’s Lamb we’ll see no end
Once free of sin and shame

Of course it may sound strange right now
As did to me at first
But when in faith to Christ you bow
Life’s wine will end your thirst…
