Michael P. Johnson (7th Nov.1943 / New Silksworth / Sunderland Co/Durham England)
WHEN JESUS REIGNS
When Jesus reigns upon our throne
As truly Lord and King
We leave the ways of flesh and bone
And change the songs we sing
Keeping God’s Lamb in constant sight
We follow His chosen path
We fellowship with glorious Light
And fear no more the wrath
Receiving what The Lord will give
Accepting truth first hand
Living the way we ought to live
We see and understand
We understand The Father’s heart
The love He has to share
We understand we had to part
From all the filth out there
From Satan’s house we must vacate
Reside within The Vine
Following entry through The Gate
Partaking Bread & Wine
We understand these things must be
That heart and soul be well
If endless life our eyes would see
We had to flee from hell
We had to seek The Father’s face
Reach out to God above
Receive salvation’s wondrous grace
Through Jesus’ perfect love
If this is not your way of life
If Christ is not that real
But wish to flee from death and strife
You only need to kneel….
