Self Inspection Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Is your sleep blessed with peace of mind
Is your heart trouble free
Amazing things in truth we find
When selfless eyes can see


Please ask yourself if Christ is real
Find if the bible’s true
If God’s aware of how you feel
And sees the things you do


Just ask yourself who made the earth
The starry host above
Who truly gave to Adam birth
If not The King of Love


Just spare a moment, look inside
Take stock of how you live
Are secrets there you seek to hide
Or wish The Lord to give


Such thoughts have all from time to time
The young as well as old
We each have fallen foul to crime
When lives in truth unfold


The feelings in one's bowels at night
The murmurs deep within
The thoughts from which we’d take to flight
Are fruit of wayward sin


Regardless of your answer now
Regardless how much shame
Let wisdom lead one's knee to bow
In Jesus’ precious name


Through Christ alone is life restored
Beneath His healing wing
When He becomes our living Lord
Life’s victory song we sing
