Michael P. Johnson Poems

Before Spirit comes to stay
Before Christ comes to reign
Before God’s Lamb can have His way
The righteous suffer pain
...

I looked inside, then all around
My life was plain in view
Accounting to the treasures found
I found I needed You
...

An average life is awfully brief
But three score years and ten
Yet what takes place when like a thief?
God’s Son returns again?
...

In secular things I felt so smart
To things of God a fool
But life saw change when in the heart
Heaven began to rule
...

“Come you laden and burdened down
Each sinner now distressed
Receive from me a golden crown
Receive eternal rest
...

“I’m fighting back to You my Lord
I’m trying every day
Allow me please return on board
Don’t sail from me away
...

The yellow brick road’s behind me
Life’s fable bubble burst
The living Truth has set me free
Of all which had me cursed
...

Why do we war against The Lord?
How can we fight our King?
What foolishness could man afford?
To dam life’s only Spring
...

Each one who’ll live who’d death survive
May seek The Lord on high
Only to learn before we thrive
Our need is first to die
...

What fools still lost believe absurd
And scoffers mock and slight
Salvation’s Seed is Heaven’s Word
God’s Son of perfect Light
...
