Michael P. Johnson Poems

When heartfelt praises rise on high
When prayers touch Jesus’ heart
Sincerity draws Heaven nigh
And love sees needs depart
...

All life’s received from Jesus’ breath
That must one day return
When all creation samples death
When sin and shame will burn
...

A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
"Today is strange without a doubt
I'm usually on my own
A colleague came to help me out
...

God’s peace eludes the sinful mind
It’s sleepless day and night
The help it seeks, can no one find
No hope of grace in sight
...

No greater word was ever told
No selfless life so grim
No greater love could ere unfold
Than that displayed through Him
...

This coloured world has many creeds
Who tear God’s church apart
With bridges God can meet the needs
And calm the troubled heart
...

The world was such a peaceful place
Till Adam bore the curse
Yet sin within the human race
Will make it daily worse
...

This life on earth is but a test
Through trials we walk each day
But God will give us of His best
The worst! He’ll take away
...

A LAMP TO MY FEET
"And there it was, just lying there
Crinkled on the ground
From what I read I'd like to share
...

Whose eyes behold the might of seas
Who hear a mountain stream
Surveying tall majestic trees
Can see it’s not a dream
...
