A Seed Must Die Poem by Michael P. Johnson

A SEED MUST DIE
Though Satan now must eat the dust Gen3: 14
Many in him yet place their trust
Spirit and flesh will always war Gen.3: 15
When one remains the devil's whore

No shameful deed can God abide
From sinful souls, His face He'll hide
Though in His heart God loves us all
He hates to see His children fall

God's Seed was nailed upon the tree
Christ chose to die for man to . Rev.1: 5
His sinless flesh would not decay Ps.16: 10
But rise to show mankind the way

A seed must die within the earth Jn.12: 24
Self's sacrifice to giving birth 1Co.15: 35-49
Upon such love selfless and true
The Lord pours forth as Heaven's Dew

It's not by might; we win God's grace
Nor through power, we'll see His face
The Holy Ghost meets every need Zec.4: 6
To be in Jesus living seed

A dragon though, will try one day Rev.12: 4
To steal the woman's seed away
While no one walks in Christ alone
God's hand will snatch us to His throne Rev.12: 5

The seed to life is here to stay Jn.3: 9
From Jesus' hand we'll never stray Jn.10: 28
Who live to Christ and not to shame
Will surely rise in Jesus' name

Though cleansed with Flame we too must die Ro.6: 3
God's righteousness to magnify Ro.6: 1
For God in us has souls to save
Who like His Son, will see no grave.....
