Rock Of Ages Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Wash me till I’m white as snow
Lead me unto my goal
Rock of ages, eternal flow
Sweet lover of my soul

Guide me Saviour o gentle Dove
Sifter of earth and sand
Please keep me safe till high above
Within Your mighty hand

Onward and upward day by day
Watching throughout the night
Hold me secure my God I pray
Within your perfect sight

With faith You’ve given precious hope
The Spirit of Your Son
Now help me through life’s battles cope
Until the war is won

Enrobed within Your Liquid Light
Eating the choicest meat
I’ll fight with You the righteous fight
Till death’s beneath your feet

For You are God The King of kings
The Lord above all lords
Hell will hear when Heaven sings
When all lay down their swords

Yet Satan stands but for a while
His demon hoards may boast
But soon You’ll wipe away their smile
When in hell’s flame they roast

The fig tree’s turning green my Lord
Fertile has grown the land
Soon You’ll unsheathe Your flaming sword
And speak your Royal command
