Sweet Repentance.....
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

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

 

        Sweet Repentance.....

You soiled your robe as Jesus bride

Your soul was plagued with guilt

So empty was the house inside

On shifting sand you’d built

 

Though Jesus’ blood had cleansed of sin

Had filled your life with grace

Had brought such peace and joy within

To sin you turned your face

 

Hungering for your wayward past

Thirsting for its thrill

You left behind “The First & Last”

To do your selfish will

 

Life’s pleasures opened wide their doors

Risking a lustful glance

Swiftly you left for foreign shores

To live a life per chance

 

You hoped so much this time to win

No road you wouldn’t turn

Searching the very depths of sin

Though still for more you’d yearn

 

Never enough could come your way

However deep you’d sink

However long you’d lust each day

From Satan’s cup to drink

 

With passions roused, desires high!

Anticipation soared

From Satan was still much to buy

If you’d but call him lord

 

Were you to be a complete fool?

Was Satan now to reign?

Should you become the devil’s tool?

Or turn to Christ 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.
