Michael P. Johnson Poems

Who learn with joy to serve and wait
Who trust and God obey
Who lives, though no one knows the date
Before the youngest day
...

Without the Lord these eyes were blind
My life was filled with dread
Such foolish things would cloud my mind
I wished that I were dead
...

“Please can I see the doctor now
Or is he out on call
My heart’s so hurt I don’t know how
I ever came to fall
...

Before time’s dawn and all God made -Gen.1: 1
Amidst eternal night -Gen.1: 2
Gross darkness had on earth to fade
When God spoke forth the light -Gen.1: 3
...

Most people think God’s far away
To some He’s closed the door
Others suppose God’s nought to say
He hasn’t said before
...

I’ll build my church from whom I call
A house of living stone
No chosen one will fail or fall
Nor walk through life alone
...

Souls found in Christ will grow to live
God's love will guide them through
Seeing each need He longs to give
What man can’t give to you
...

When Jesus’ bride is Spirit led
God’s truth is all but late
Yet still so oft we hear it said
“Be patient now and wait”
...

Each selfish heart's festooned with shame
With wayward lust and pride
Destined for hell's eternal Flame
Devoid of grace inside
...

I asked why would Salvation call
Whilst still in filth and shame
Whilst full of pride whilst walking tall
Despising Jesus’ name
...
