Prepare Yourself (1) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Its good to live with Christ inside
Its good God’s praise to sing
Venturing in the far and wide
Serving our Lord and King

To break the devil’s yoke in life
To sever Satan’s chain
Be unto Christ a faithful wife
And truly born a again

But ill equipped some venture out
On corners stand and preach
They scarcely know what life’s about
Yet still the world they’ll teach

With good intentions hell we pave
Quite oft by some reborn
We witness what the crowd still crave
And stray when lust has drawn

The fight’s not fought by flesh and bone
Nor through the strength of man
Through Christ must change our heart of stone
To know Salvation’s plan –Ro.12: 1-2

Anointed, should Christ’s servants be
God’s power in life we need
Through Jesus’ eyes we need to see
Before we sow life’s seed

We know the world’s in need of food
Her heart has yet not heard
Be patient though till full endued –Act.1: 4
Before we share God’s word

To whom God gives His Holy Ghost
To them will come His might
Encompassed by the Heavenly host
The foe we’ll put to flight…PTO…
