Listen! Poem by Michael P. Johnson

The universe so vast and grand
The things we fail to see
Held together in Jesus’ hand
At Heaven’s royal decree


Flowing fresh as a mountain stream
God’s word runs true and deep
But till it reigns in hearts supreme
The world remains asleep


God shows quite clear what man should do
We hear His guiding voice
Who’s minds through Christ in truth are new
Who’s hearts in love rejoice


The Lord won’t keep His children blind
He gives them ears to hear
Quietly speaking in one's mind
Yet often loud and clear


For Jesus lives He’s fit and well
Although the world’s in doubt
He’ll keep God’s children free of hell
He’ll show what life’s about


He’ll show this life, is not for gain
He’ll show the church His plan
He’ll cleanse each child of spot and stain
He’ll show the world he can


This evil world’s festooned with sin
Though truth is plain in sight
She fails to hear the voice within
She fails to see The Light!


Yet those who make God’s Son their choice
Who seek The Lord’s desire
Our God will guide through Jesus voice
And clothe their souls in fire
