What Awaits You? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Through faith, mankind can be reborn
When childlike we believe
When through Christ's death, salvation's dawn
Repentant souls receive

Two thousand years these facts have stood
Since birth and death of Christ
Salvation comes through righteous blood
Through Jesus sacrificed

The day will dawn when time has gone
When self dictates the earth
When disbelieving Christ God's Son
Rules out a second birth

When life's risen bride, is with her Groom
When the world is left behind
When souls embrace debauchery's gloom
Terror, will plague mankind

As Egypt was in days gone by
When life and limbs were cheap
Till Israel sought The Lord on high
To tend them as His sheep

So as it was, so will it be
Mankind will suffer pain
Blind and lost unable to see
Till Jesus comes again

This time once more He'll place His feet
As King of kings to reign
Enemies all swift in retreat
Will seek for death, in vain!

With devils awaits hell's fire
With death no more in view
Lest Jesus is your desire
Know well what fate awaits you.....
