Wisdom Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Some people boast to know it all
Like Satan did, before his fall
Best be a fool in Christ and blessed
Than reign in hell the wisest guest


Most worldly wise still live in doubt
Quite ignorant what Christ’s about
What eyes can’t see their minds despise
So void of truth they die like flies


Wise is the man who through faith’s eye
Can see God’s promise not to die
However dark his evil past
He’ll take life’s gift and hold it fast


Are you! then wise, or think to be?
Has Jesus come to set you free?
Lay worldly wisdom best aside
Allow God’s Son to be your guide


Come as a child, receive life’s prize
God sees the heart of he who tries
Come as you are; answer Christ’s call
Allow true wisdom benefit all


In Christ the least; confound the wise
But this should be no great surprise
If man can’t choose between two stools
He’ll surely fall like other fools


The least in Christ are never blind
They’ve seen the truth that changed their mind
They know this life one day must end
Before death’s knee to Christ will bend


What greater wisdom could there be?
Than living life in victory
Secure in Jesus’ warm embrace
And unafraid to see God’s face.
