Michael P. Johnson Poems

God’s bidding all before His throne
In spite of spot and flaw
Whilst man is oft a stumbling stone
Sharing burdens galore
...

In life we strive to quench our thirst
Receive of love our fill
But let’s consider Jesus first
And Heaven’s righteous will
...

Like all I’ve bowed my knee to shame
Straying from Truth and Light
Till Heaven chose to call my name
And Christ restored my sight
...

We chase life’s shadows in the dark
We doubt The First & Last
Sinning each day missing the mark
Like others in the past
...

When characters are not of Christ
When lives remain the same
Nothing for God we’ve sacrificed
Will glorify His name
...

We’ve erred we’ve strayed we’ve killed and lied
Opposed our Father’s hand
Till shameful deeds have multiplied
Like grains of common sand
...

Feeling a hole down deep inside?
An emptiness, within?
From God and self you wish to hide
It seems you cannot win
...

Armed with virtue passion and love
In hand our righteous sword
Fighting life’s fight ordained above
Through Christ our risen Lord
...

There’re hills in life and rocky vales
There’re thorns on roses too
There’re tranquil days and stormy gales
And ways we should pursue
...

Thank God I’m safe and in The ark
Thank God my eyes now see
No longer am I in the dark
Careless and fancy free
...
