Observe & Consider Poem by Michael P. Johnson

The worldly man’s aloof and proud
With haughty selfish will
For growth he’ll please the maddening crowd
For gain he’ll cheat and kill

Consider where all his wealth remains
Consider world decay
Observe creation bound in chains
Confused in disarray

Of worldly reason give no care
Regard their thoughts with scorn
Such foolish prattle fools will share
Will fail The Morrow’s dawn

The dawn where all our souls awake
Ending man’s foolish dream
Where no one’s seen their sad mistake
But Jesus stands supreme

Of this, regard with all your might
The Truth of Christ The Lord
God’s living Son The Morning Light
Tomorrow’s great Reward

Regard Him now regard Him well
Consider night and day
Where world and fake will end in hell
But standing true we’ll stay

We’ll stay as kings in perfect peace
With Christ our Lord and friend
Where laughter and joy never cease
And life will see no end

Regard God’s Son life’s Cornerstone
Our mansion high above
Consider where no one’s left alone
Regard such perfect love
