Basil Johnson Poems

What is Truth?
Truth cannot be hidden,
Truth will expose a lie,
In truth, you could find yourself standing alone.
...

Faith and fear cannot exist together,
Faith is being certain of what we do not see,
Fear is unbelief or weak belief,
As unbelief takes the upper hand in our thoughts, fear takes hold of our emotions,
...

So thankful it all starts with you.
Because no matter what your right here beside me,
And for anyone as it goes that calls on your name.
So thankful for the fresh new day you've invited me to share in.
...

I didn't see this coming, no warning signs to
heed,

I thought God was with me, I'm blessed I said,
...

What is grace? It's unmerited favour, favour not earned by some good deeds,
grace rules out any plea of human merit,
grace means, that the saving initiative is with God alone, and not human merit,
grace means, that salvation is the work of God from start to finish,
...

God is good!
God you are so good.
When we are in your presence it's such delight,
You give us all our needs, you give us families,
...

Fault and Failing
Try as you may, to get through a day without a fault or failing.
The simple fact is you can't, you may start the day with good intent,
and soon find yourself in hot pursuit, when out comes a cry it's all your fault!
...

Behold the Prince of peace!

My heart overflows, sing for joy and be glad!
Hosanna Hosanna to the king of Kings
...
