You Saw Me Poem by Michael P. Johnson

You saw me Lord still running scared
Still skulking round with fear
Not knowing if You lived or cared
Not knowing You was near

You saw my tears in the rain
My sodden soul full shame
My heart lamenting hell’s refrain
Yet still You called my name

I heard my God but paid no heed
Believing all was well
Till someone gave Your book to read
Showing my way to hell

Revealing hell and Heaven true
The devil realm is real
What wayward sinners still can do
To win life’s last appeal

I did my God what’s written there
To Christ I bent my knee
Twas then He came my sins to bear
And set my spirit free

I’m free my God through Christ Your Son
Saved through His blood divine
Through love I know my battle’s won
And endless life is mine

I live I live no more in dread
Full joy & zest unknown
No longer do I walk as dead
Filthy and so alone

I’m cleansed deep down through Jesus pure
I’m rich beyond compare
Such strength such peace to all endure
And all with You to share
