The World Still Calls
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

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

    The world still calls

Though born again with Heavens’ Flame

Through God’s own blood set free

Many like fools return to shame

To die by God’s decree

 

Children are crying night and day

Seeking The Father’s face

Praying for those who’ve gone astray

Losing Salvation’s grace

 

We’re grieved, to see the fallen die

Praying before God’s throne

Eternity will hear their cry

God’s blessings still unknown

 

Though saved! Still many souls lose out

Opening Satan’s door

Flooding their precious souls with doubt

Breaking God’s every law

 

Yet Jesus’ eyes have all in sight

His ears hear every prayer

Though some may fail to see the Light

The truth is always there

 

On Christ God’s Word they need to feel

His love, through you and I

Through Heaven’s Dove life’s Holy Seal

The Pledge of God on high

 

Salvation’s arm is never short

For those who God would fear

The church must spread Christ’s true report

The fallen souls to hear

 

God’s holy word breaks every chain

Brings forth life’s guiding Light

Will raise the dead, give birth again

To stand and win the fight....

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.
