{6) Alive! In Truth Poem by Michael P. Johnson

I’m full of love with Christ inside
So proud to be Salvation’s bride
I stretch in faith to God my hand
For by His grace I understand

A smiling heart is all I need
Inner contentment, so I feed
God’s Ghost within, then try my best
To walk in Christ, and pass life’s test

Your Fire my God is burning deep
Within my heart, I long to leap
Into the air with arms held wide
Declaring love with open pride

Through the Spirit, I feel Your touch
Oh sweet Jesus, I love so much
I know this love will not retire
But will remain to burn like Fire

My love for You is out of scope
It seethes within, how will I cope?
It all exceeds my wildest dreams
Cascades to ever flowing streams

Your wondrous breath is like a breeze
Sweet fresh air sent forth to ease
An aching heart, to turn it round
To where Your love; is truly found

My heart’s so full, my spirit’s high
If more love comes I’ll surely die
To Your great name I’ll sing my song
Abide in me where You belong

I thank You for restoring me-
In life, to what I am to be
Not as I was before You came
For now my life is not the same. Amen.
