Michael P. Johnson Poems

When guilt first whispers loud our shame
And sin secretes a sigh
Let wisdom cry in Jesus’ name
“O Lord don’t let me die
...

We all have thought of how and why
Creation came to be
If people live and truly die
Alone by God’s decree
...

From east to west from north to south
Twixt Heaven and gates of hell
One day The Lord will smite by mouth
The foes of Israel
...

The fool will seek the shadows still
Will wander in the dark
Though Satan there will cheat and kill
And place on us his mark
...

Daily still my heart grows fonder
Within my Saviour’s hand
Looking through the far blue yonder
To what The Lord has planned
...

Thanks be to God for giving me
The keys to life and love
For suffering to set me free
To enter life above
...

These lines are for my Saviour’s sake
Rising on Heaven’s Wing
For helping others flee hell’s lake
And glorify my King
...

“Wandering faltering void of peace
A fugitive from sleep
I thought of death at life’s release
Beyond the final leap
...

God gives His Shepherds sheep to keep
To feed along The Way
But like Bo Peep who lost her sheep
Theirs too are found to stray
...

Following the light and starry host
After each plant and tree
For Father Son and Holy Ghost
Adam was made to be
...
