Lest We Fall Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Without true oil, no lamp can burn
The least in Christ this truth should learn
Raise high your lamp however small
Beware God’s child lest we fall

The lamp within that burns now bright
Allow it shine both day and night
So clear to see by one and all
So keep it trim lest we fall

Within God’s child, no dark can reign
No fault wrinkle, no spot nor stain
Evil does evil thus they’d call
Best live true, lest we fall

Who call on Christ, the Lord will save
Who then repent will see no grave
Our God gives lives light to them who call
Yet stay Him true lest we fall

Burn no light for appearance sake
Few thing’s worse than thought a fake
The Lord’s not mocked, He sees us all
So best take care lest we fall

Light shines forth through The Holy Ghost
Whatever’s hid is seen the most
We stand as beacons seen by all
Walk as holy lest we fall

Be examples to all you meet
Differ now! As chaff from wheat
Each lamp must shine when standing tall
Only in Christ lest we fall

Our lights are seen behind locked doors
The world surveys the smallest flaws
Though Satan’s back’s against the wall
Walk in Jesus lest we fall.
