Where Wisdom Fails To Tell (2) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

We can’t rely on common sense
Nor knowledge taught at school
We need to give God recompense
Our lives The Lord to rule

Whet greater gift can God we give?
When to ourselves we’re true
What lesser thing can cause to live?
The Father’s will to do?

We need to trust our Saviour’s word
Through faith God’s Lamb believe
We need to act on all we’ve heard
God’s promise to receive

What fool will say its all a lie?
Life’s word is less than true?
Who’s so convinced, they’d even die
Just like the ancient few!

They died, because of what they saw! –Lk.24: 48
Because of truth so clear –Ac.4: 20
Who held on fast to Heaven’s Door –Jn.14: 6
Void of doubt and fear

What drove these men to self-denial?
What kept them strong and true?
What made them walk the extra mile?
And give them life anew?

Such faith’s received through Christ alone
Who’s blood was given free
Who’s life remains the corner stone
Still plain for all to see

Come purchase now, quite free of cost
Cast off the devil’s chain
Receive the glory Adam lost
When wisdom rules again…
