Treasures To Buy Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Salvation’s wine will quench and fill
Will cleanse and make us new
But Satan comes to rob and kill
And cheat the chosen few


Deceit’s not worn upon his sleeve
The devil hides his lies
Through stealth and cunning lambs believe
The wolf in sheep’s disguise


Such putrid fruit the Father hates
Trickery in the bride
No lie can enter Heaven’s gates
Nor liar reign inside


Receive the truth from God on High
Through Christ true wealth is bought
Salvation’s fortune we can buy
And yet it costs us nought


Purest silver, the finest gold
Rare jewels God’s choicest fare
Wisdom knowledge treasures untold
Gratis to those who dare


Who dare to walk Salvation’s path
Who dare through faith to stand
Who through belief, escape God’s wrath
Within their Saviour’s hand


Yet poverty, persists abroad
The world can’t get her fill
Like misers Satan’s wares we hoard
And scrutinize at will


We need to buy Salvation’s wealth
Put self unto the sword
Receive new life eternal health
Whilst serving Christ The Lord.
