The Soul Lives On (2) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Who walk the way of truth and love
Who in God’s Light abide
Who’s faith is placed in Christ above
God’s Son will take as bride

For endless life! God first made man
With power to rule the earth
But disobedience ruined the plan
And death was given birth

When earth to life has closed her door
When judgment’s played it’s part
Eternity will stand before
The contents of each heart

For those in Christ with saving grace
Who’s faith has passed the test
Their Bridegroom built a wondrous place
With love and endless rest

The sword of God will say His piece
To those found void of Light
For these, torment will never cease
Nor will their endless plight

They’ll scream that someone ends the pain
Show mercy Lord they’ll cry
Deliver us Jesus their refrain
But none in hell can die

We must prepare whilst yet we may
Our lives to rearrange
Only a fool will dare to say
I had no need of change

For all have sinned and fallen short
However slight the crime
Best now believe Christ’s true report
Right now whilst yet there’s time
