Man’s Return? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

God made the earth and all within
The keys, to man He gave
Yet all was lost through Adam’s sin
To which he’s yet a slave

God sees the heart, of those who care
Who fail to understand
He sees each thought, man’s every prayer
Each quest for mercy’s hand

He counts the tears of sorrow’s eyes
His arms, He opens wide
He hears the groans, whimpering sighs
And calls to come inside

There’s none too vile too full of sin
There’s none too far afield
God’s arm can’t cleanse, can’t bring within
If unto Him, they’d yield

It’s not a childish thing to do
Nor is it for the fool
But those who’ll walk with Christ in view
He’ll raise once more to rule

As Abraham has done before
Who’s faith saw what was planned
On house and home he closed the door
To enter Canaan land

Today our land is just as wild
The foe is still the same
But faith in God, and as His child
We’ll fight in Jesus’ name

We’ll fight for all that Adam lost
We’ll fight the holy cause
We’ll fight and win, what ere the cost
To enter Heaven’s doors…
