It’s Time (2) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Allow no foolish pride remain
Let arrogance fade and die
Let them who say they’re born again
Rise up in Christ on high –Isa.60: 1

The devil works both day and night
He’ll steal whom God will save
He’ll cheat them of their crown of Light
And lead them to the grave

Not seldom do God’s servants cry
Nor rare to see them grieve
They hate to see a sinner die
Still blind this world to leave

Yet some will say it’s not of God –Mt.23: 34
We speak for selfish gain –1Ti.6: 5
With gnashing teeth they’ll wink and nod –Act.7: 54-60
Doing the work of Cain –Gen.4: 8

God’s servants, with their tongues they’ll kill –Lk.21: 17
Outraged, they’ll cast their stones –Act.14: 19
They’ll think to do The Father’s will –Jn.16: 2
These tomes of dead men’s bones –Mt.23: 27

The devil’s robbed them of their sight
So full of self conceit
They’ll say our words are not of Light –Mk.13: 12
And cast us on the street –Jn.16: 2

But when their hue and cries are still Act.14: 2
When rebels hold their breath –Ps.46: 10
Let’s pray they’ll bow to Jesus’ will
Escaping certain death

They’ll turn and walk Salvation’s path –Mt.23: 39
We’ll see no more their past –Col.3: 13
So grateful not to see God’s wrath
They’ve seen the truth at last
