Death’s Divide (2) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Share not with sin its endless lot
Don’t join the ranks of fools
God’s child in Christ will see no rot
But shine as precious jewels

There’s more to death than meets our eyes
There’s more to life than fate
Yet truth, when found in paradise
For some will come too late

Its now; the time to see The Light
Its now; our knee must bend
This death is not an endless night
Nor man’s eternal end

God’s flock would then have no reward
As dust beneath the ground
Sin would flee the coming sword
God’s truth, is more profound

Let eyes now see that yet are blind
The body dies for sure
Yet spirits leave the flesh behind
To enter judgement’s door

Who now refuse to serve The Lord
Refuse to change their ways
Their lot’s to meet God’s vengeful sword
And feel it endless days

But those who die to self, on earth
Who live to Christ The King
Receive by grace a second birth
Eternal songs to sing

Important now; is what we do
Not foolish things we’ve done
Its time we turn to start anew
With Jesus, God’s true Son
