Michael P. Johnson (7th Nov.1943 / New Silksworth / Sunderland Co/Durham England)
THAT THERE BE NO SURPRISE
Christ came to silence Satan’s lies
He died to set us free
He rose that there’ll be no surprise
If more should rise as He
Some ‘will’ arise to Heaven’s height
Beyond the great divide
But most will fall devoid of Light
In torment to abide
God warns us loud and crystal clear
His book He gives to read
Teaching us love teaching us fear
Teaching The Truth we need
Yet most of us despise The Light
Despise The Truth portrayed
We stroll the road as dark as night
Hell bent and most dismayed
Dismissing God, rejecting Christ
Oblivious misled
Not knowing whom God sacrificed
And rose up from the dead
Demonic lies are everywhere
Seduction’s common place
Yet most of us don’t seem to care
Of Jesus’ saving grace
Living a life of constant shame
Deceived and walking tall
Most live and doubt Christ ever came
Or even lived at all
So we! Who have The Truth must tell
Our neighbours near and far
To save their souls from darkest hell
Through Christ The Morning Star
