Acts In Progress Poem by Michael P. Johnson

ACTS IN PROGRESS
The bible has a lot to say
So much for man to see
Since Jesus' Spirit seeks today
To live in you and me

Did God not say, within man's heart?
The Truth would come to stay?
That all in Christ would play a part
Does that not mean today?

Indeed! God's word goes marching on
Throughout this present age
Like Matthew, Mark, like Luke and John
We too may write a page

So those to come may take a look
At deeds we had to bring
We'll join our brothers in the book
That glorifies our King

We need to learn from past mistakes
From all who've served before
To show in Christ which road one takes?
Towards the narrow door

But first we too must be of light
Make war on sin and shame
The world may see, then man just might
Be led to do the same

For most are blind and cannot tell
They see through Satan's eyes
Deceived! They're on the road to hell
Because of self and lies

They must receive God's precious wine
Life's Truth with all the facts
In all we do, Jesus must shine
"Within life's book of acts".....
