God’s Grace Poem by Michael P. Johnson

How wondrous is The Father’s grace
How much is yet un-shown? –1Co.2: 9
How much until we see His face
Will still remain unknown?

For by His grace whilst dead in shame –Eph.2: 5
By Satan tightly bound –Ro.5: 10+Ac.10: 38
God’s Spirit with His Holy Flame –Lk.3: 16
Can yet by man be found –Mt.7: 6

Though Satan prowls both night and day –1Pe.5: 8
In Christ remains the law –Mt.5; 18
When darkness leads to disobey
God’s grace increases more –Ro.5: 20

We’re saved, by grace, and not by might –Eph.2: 8
We’re dead, and sealed with love –Ro.6: 3
We’re raised in Christ, a child of Light –Ro.6: 4
Prepared for life above –Eph.2: 10+Eph.2: 6

Alive in Christ, no more to sin –1Jn.5: 18
Divorced from selfish gain –Ro.6: 12
By grace God’s Spirit deep within
Takes doubt and eases pain –Rev.21: 4

In Christ we die to sin at last –Ro.6: 2-4
To life the way is clear –Pr.5+6
By grace we’re free of all our past –Ro.6: 7
With nought from God to fear –Ps.133: 3

Yet when the wicked, grace is shown –Isa.26: 10
When mercy comes to call –Heb.3: 7-8
They’d throw at God the nearest stone –Jn.8: 7
Again in filth to fall –2Pe.2: 22

God’s time of grace is but a while –2Co.6: 2
Yet no one knows how long –Ac.14: 27+Rev.3: 7
But when in truth He’ll cease to smile –Mt.7: 23
What then, will be your song? …
