When, When, When Poem by Michael P. Johnson

When righteousness resides within
When sin takes swiftly flight
Salvation’s come and can begin
To shine His perfect Light

When faith takes captive every doubt
When hope conquers despair
Victory our heart can sing and shout
For all the world to share

When truth inside is seen to reign
When darkness starts to fade
Truly in Christ we’re born again
And all our debts are paid

When self is seen to fade and die
When love takes up the lead
We’re children of our God on high
Abraham’s faithful seed

When arrogance comes crumbling down
When pride is less then low
Humility can wear her crown
And modesty can grow

When spiritual souls begin to see
And truly understand
Disobedience will cease to be
And Christ can rule as planned

When Christ becomes our first and last
When giving’s all but rare
When evil deeds are of the past
God’s fruit is everywhere

Then Love will lead our faithful heart
With Christ before our eyes
We’ll meet when death has played its part
To claim life’s endless prize
