What’s Happening? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Oh God! What are You doing there?
What’s happening here?
Don’t You bother or even care
We live in constant fear!

Some know You have so much to give
Some know the Bible’s true
Some know by faith! We’ll come to live
And not the good we do

But Lord, the rest of all mankind
Who have; no faith to see
Why must they live and perish blind?
Surely You’ll want them free?

Like fools they’re on the way to hell
Still burdened down with shame
Why is it hard for us to tell?
There’s power in Your name

To those who righteousness pursue
So others rise on high
Give power now Your chosen few
Don’t let these children die

We know You have no pleasure
To watch Your people fail
For the sake of such a treasure
Don’t let them rot in jail

The glory Lord, is always! Yours
It’s You who’ll win the day
Give us the key to lock hell’s doors
Please take their sins away

Give them faith to see and trust
With Light, a brand new start
So when the devil eats the dust
Our praise will touch Your heart
