Redemption’s Kiss Poem by Michael P. Johnson

The world may see herself as wise
May think she’s strong and free
Yet this is Satan’s sad disguise
To fool both you and me

We ought to see God’s guiding light
The truth of Jesus’ cross
We ought to know the foe we fight
That none should suffer loss

Yet selfish gain remains our choice
For riches still we seek
In wayward sin the mob rejoice
Oppressing old and weak

Of God the world has grown so cold
Her filth but few dismay
Seductive, naked, flaunting bold
The devil’s fool she’ll play

In body, soul, the devil’s bride
Her Godly fear long gone
Preferring Satan as her guide
Rejecting Christ God’s Son

Yet world redemption’s close at hand
Salvation, for her soul
If she’d but turn and understand
The truth would make her whole

But sheer conceit has made her blind
A fool to Satan’s woo
Whispering constant to her mind
He tells her what to do

Yet if her lover she’d resist
How demons quick would flee
When then with truth this world has kissed
God’s children will be free.
