To Be Like Him Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Demonstrative in word and deed
Decisive faithful true
Beneficial where ere there’s need
Righteousness through and through


He’ll judge the quick He’ll judge the dead
He’ll judge both head and tail
He’ll judge all found in Satan’s bed
With righteous line and scale


Perfection now must be our aim
Our thoughts, The Lord’s delight
That when life’s works He tries by Flame
They’re pleasing in His sight


Stand strong in Christ for Christ is strong
Yet tolerate the weak
Trust in The Lord whose arm is long
No need where else to seek


Return to Christ who’ve gone astray
Give bread to those with none
Help your brother along The Way
That God’s true will be done


Words are power where hearts are right
Where souls make Christ their choice
Where spirits drink The Morning Light
And hearken to His voice


Rely on Christ not worldly stays
Take heart and never feign
Be Jesus true in all your ways
Let life be now your gain


The faithful will The Father please
Obedience draws His love
The Way is found on bended knees
When eyes are trained above
