In Christ We See
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Michael P. Johnson
Other Poems by Michael P. Johnson

    In Christ we see

The devil is the lying cheat

He’d steal the Fathers’ love

He’d rob the world of all belief

That Christ is Lord above

 

But since I’ve heard the Father’s voice

I’ve heard my Saviour’s call

The Truth I’ve made my lifelong choice - Jn.14:6

And trust Him not to fall

 

My whole dark life was full of sin

My faith was Satan’s lies

But now God’s Flame burning within

Has severed all hell’s ties

 

Through Jesus’ blood I’m pure and clean

The Truth has set me free

What yet the world pollutes unseen

These eyes through grace can see

 

My shameful ways have taken wing

In me no filth is found

Salvation’s song I now can sing

En route to higher ground

 

I see the road to Heavens door

I see eternal peace

How Satan lost in me the war

Now life will never cease

 

I’ve found The Truth, God’s perfect will

I’ve drunk Salvation’s wine

On Jesus’ flesh I’ll eat until - Mt.26:26

Life’s secrets all are mine

 

I’ll live in faith walking in  light

All doubt I’ve cast aside

My aim’s a robe of purest white

And life as Jesus’ bride.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
