Accept the Truth
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Michael P. Johnson

          Accept the Truth

Though God’s true prophets live today

Though Heaven’s Word they bring

Speaking truth, revealing The Way

Through Christ their Lord and King

 

Not few believe God’s servant wrong

Not few stand back dismayed

Too long man’s sung the devil’s song

Through which the church has strayed

 

Religion has them tightly bound

Even with Truth so near

They fail to climb to higher ground

Although The Way is clear

 

Man’s traditions are oft at fault

Religious pomp and pride

But seasoned with God’s righteous salt

His servants truth provide

 

Some scream and shout and laugh to scorn

Some criticize the light

Although they say they’ve been reborn

But yet The Truth they fight

 

Drinking religion’s wayward brew

Brings oft a bleak result

Many think facts are quite untrue

God’s servants from a cult

 

Why can’t they see the devil’s hand?

Refuse to be his tool

Begin seeking to understand

And play no more the fool

 

When sound advice comes walking by

When life would break death’s chain

Let not religion blind your eye

Let Christ bring birth again.....

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.
