Whatever Comes Poem by Michael P. Johnson

When darkness whiles and shadows dance
And devils sing their songs
The saved will praise will lift their glance
To where their soul belongs


Though pain and torment walk our way
Though peace evades the night
No doubt will cause to lead astray
The soul that seeks The Light


No wealth or fame will cause to swerve
Nor vanities to sway
With heart and soul The Truth we’ll serve
Walking God’s chosen way


Are we to fear this world’s alarms?
From irritants to hide!
While safe within Salvation’s arms
God’s promises reside


Ailments may cause to while in bed
Demons may run amok
Satan may raise his evil head
But we are on The Rock


We know in whom we have believed
We know in whom we trust
We know The Spirit we’ve received
Will keep us from the dust


Regardless; what this world would share
What darkness may afford
No fortune can with God compare
Nor take us from The Lord?


From hills and vales we children learn
Through trials we understand
Nothing we gain will fail to burn
Outside of Jesus’ hand
