Man's Return? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

God made the earth and all within
The keys to man He gave
Yet all was lost through Adam’s sin
To which he’s yet a slave


God sees the heart, of those who care
Who seek to understand
He sees each thought, man’s every prayer
Each quest for mercy’s hand


He counts the tears of sorrow’s eyes
His arms, He opens wide
Hearing the groans, whimpering sighs
And calls to come inside


There’s none too vile too full of sin
There’s none too far a-field
God’s arm can’t cleanse, can’t bring within
If to The Truth we yield


It’s not a childish thing to do
Nor is it for the fool
But those who’ll walk with Christ in view
Who'll trust and let Him rule


As Abraham has done before
Who’s faith saw what was planned
On house and home he closed the door
And entered Canaan land


Today; our lands are just as wild
The foe is still the same
But trusting God and reconciled
We’ll fight in Jesus’ name


We’ll fight for all that Adam lost
We’ll fight the holy cause
We’ll fight and win, what ere the cost
And enter Heaven’s doors…
