There’s Much To See Poem by Michael P. Johnson

If man would see the world at large
Would see the true report
Perhaps we’d see the one in charge
Is not the one who ought

We’d see much more with Christ as guide
If self would bend the knee
We’d feel conviction deep inside
The truth would make us free

We’d see our neighbour, as we should
We’d see our heart of stone
We’d see the cross and Jesus’ blood
And know we’re not our own

We’d see the reason why we live
Why Jesus came and died
We’d see in life we’ve much to give
How much the devil’s lied

How truth he’s wrapped in veil and shroud
How twisted is our sight
How he seduces man and crowd
And robbed us of God’s light

We’d see life’s journey plain and true
A crossing of the ways
We’d see what’s right and wrong to do
And how to live our days

We’d see the depths to which most fall
The heights in Christ to scale
The choice that’s free to one and all
To win or yet to fail

It’s strange how truth we yet perceive
Is God to understand?
This life’s a trial, yet who’ll believe?
If not in Jesus’ hand
