What’s Hidden In There? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Does Heaven’s Light flood heart and vein?
Does Jesus guide your path?
Does righteousness within you reign?
To flee the coming wrath

Has God revealed His Son to you?
Is Christ your Lord and King
Did God pour forth His Morning Dew?
That brings the heart to sing

If deep at self you’d look today
What would you see inside?
Would truth cause you to kneel and pray?
Or seek a place to hide?

Would Satan’s brood have sown their seed?
Would putrid stench arise?
Would lust your heart festoon with greed?
Have blinded wayward eyes?

Or would a smile your soul embrace?
Would gladness overflow?
Would tears of joy adorn your face?
Would faith take on a glow?

Most know our time is in God’s hands
Yet show so little fear
They’ll built like fools on shifting sands
Whilst death stands ever near

Its time for us to take a stand
Its time our lives to mend
Its time to read of Christ first hand
The truth to comprehend

Beware o man of evil’s fate
Beware when blind fools die
Or when their teeth begin to grate
You’ll see the reason why
