No Poem by Michael P. Johnson

In life, we need to make a choice
Each day that breaks anew
To heed The Holy Spirit’s voice
Or do as others do


It’s hard to tell from day to day
What Satan has in store?
What ploy would keep the foe at bay?
Which tactic win the war?


The devil gives us seldom peace
So oft there’s none at all
Until the end he’ll never cease
To tempt and make us fall


Most battles rage within the mind
The rest where weakness reigns
Where darkness seeks to keep us blind
With fetters, bonds and chains


Thus burdened, makes it hard to fight
But Christ, can set us free
To climb the hill, to gain the height
From which His servants see


We need to see the devil’s weak
The Truth, to make us grow
To find in Christ the strength we seek
To tell the devil “NO”


Each “NO” will cut him like a knife
Each “NO'will cause defeat
Each “NO” will bring The Tree Of Life
More close for us to eat


Till then, the fight for life goes on
Till then, there’s toil and stress
Till then, with “NO”, the war is won
Till then to Christ say “YES” …
