The Perfect Man Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Adam, through sin had caused a storm -Gen.2: 17-18
His grief would see no end
So God chose Christ a human form
To which He would descend

A virgin bride was found on earth -Mt.1: 18
Untouched, her robe of white -Lk.1: 27
Of flesh, God’s son was given birth -Mt.1: 23
Conceived of perfect light -Jn.1: 9

The Son of man grew straight and tall
The Holy God inside -Mt.1: 23
Would bring about the devil’s fall -Gen.3: 15
And be the perfect guide

Upon the cross, to death ordained -Nu.21: 8+Jn.3: 14
The curse of man He’d take -Dt.21: 23
Festooned in guilt till life was drained -Jn.1: 29
In glory He’d awake -Ac.3: 13

God’s Spirit left Him on the tree -Mt.27: 46+Jn.19: 10
Man hung there all alone
Now man, through Christ alone is free -Gal.5; 1
Through mortal flesh and bone

God said. ”You’ve now become my Son -Ac.13: 33+Heb.1: 5
My will; have You obeyed -Php.2: 8
The work O God, You’ve now begun -1Cor.3: 11
Will grow and never fade”-1Cor.3: 10

On Heaven’s throne the perfect man -Heb.12: 2
Sits at His Father’s side -Ps.110: 1
So those within His holy plan -Mt.19: 29
May come to be His bride -Rev.19: 7

But first to self; we too must die -1Cor.15: 31
All sinful lust yet kill -Ro.8: 13
Before we come to God on high
So was and is God’s will.
