Sweet Fellowship {2} Poem by Michael P. Johnson

We sat as one, at Jesus’ feet
We praised God’s name on high
His presence; touched our hearts so sweet
With fragrance none can buy

We felt God’s arms were opened wide
His glory, all around
Such pleasure was to feel inside
Standing on holy ground

The breath of God, His warm embrace
What more could lie beyond?
What miracle would soon take place?
How would my soul respond?

My prayer was heard, my eyes could see
My soul could understand
United praise has set us free
Right there; in Jesus’ hand

No trumpet sound, no flashing light
No angel singing psalms
I knew all doubt had taken flight
Within my Saviour’s arms

Where else on earth was I to go?
What had the world to share?
What need had we beneath the flow
Of Him who loves to care

What power could flood both heart and mind?
How could such love, be mine?
Such glory saw these eyes once blind
Through grace of God divine

I’ll soon return with all my love
We’ll share the Father’s wine
We’ll eat the flesh of Christ above
While tending Jesus’ vine………
