Remember Sodom
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Michael P. Johnson

      Remember Sodom

What does one need before the grave?

What must in life we do?

What can be done man’s soul to save?

How is one born anew?

 

The promise comes through Jesus Christ

To those who’ll bear His name

Although God’s Lamb was sacrificed

To bear man’s total shame

 

Yet queues to church grow ever short

To sin; they’re wide and long

Who can receive the true report?

Singing the devil’s song

 

Who knows what lies around life’s bend?

What plan The Father’s drawn?

Who knows today they’ll see its end?

Missing tomorrow’s dawn

 

The time has come to take account

Take stock of how we stand

Does life call out from Heaven’s mount?

Or death as Satan’s planned?

 

We can’t afford to act the clown

The day of Christ draws nigh

Recall the end of Sodom town!

When judgement from high

 

Remember Noah and his ark

How few escaped inside

How many failed to meet the mark

How countless scoffed and died

 

Salvation’s calling out once more

The signs are all too plain

Come now! Or knock in vain the door

When Jesus comes 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.
