Crying In The Night Poem by Michael P. Johnson

In the beginning at the start
So was Satan’s plan
Evil most dreadful grew the heart
The consciousness of man

Jesus was there and saw it all
His Ghost and Father too
Witnessing the dreadful fall
The devil led them to

Perfect Adam and Eve were made
Each in their Father’s form
How soon perfection was to fade
Within man’s primal storm

Such harsh consequences pursued
Man’s genesis of plight
Man and wife completely nude
Were cast out in the night

Crying screaming to and fro
Wondering what to do?
With what and where, had they to go?
To live how no one knew

Alone, alone so dreadful alone
The two began to cry
With hearts cold as ancient stone
They sought The Lord on high

“Forgive us Lord” was first their call
“Sorry for what we’ve done
But he who made us children fall
Tempted what You’d begun”

So first it was and now is still
The fight we all go through
The devil’s out our soul to kill
But God there still is You……………
