God Asked Noah
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

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

God asked Noah

Before the world was drenched in shame

Ere Satan reigned in man

The Father Son and Holy Flame

Wrote down salvation’s plan

 

Then God told Noah build a boat

By faith to walk inside

But only eight were kept afloat

All unbelievers died

 

“I thank You Lord for saving me

When I was drowning too

From certain death You set me free

And gave me life anew

 

Allow me in Your boat now sail

I’ve heard my Saviour’s call

In Christ I know I’ll never fail

Nor from Your grace will fall

 

I yearn to be a lifeboat Lord

Travelling on the sea

Calling more fish to climb on board

As Jesus did for me

 

With Christ I’ll sail to far off shores

In truth from port to port

We’ll free the catch from Satan’s claws

We’ll fish till all are caught

 

The wind is right the course is set

With Jesus at the helm

Let’s hoist the sail cast wide the net

Let’s fish throughout Your realm

 

Let’s cast our nets in every land

Sailing in one accord

Teaching the fish to understand

How safe life is on board.....

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.
