Arise Zion Arise Poem by Michael P. Johnson

The Truth is yet on earth to see
His voice is loud and clear
Anointing such as you and me
He’ll use to show He’s here

Out on the street we must be seen
Dispensing Jesus word
Portraying Christ through vessels clean
Till all the world has heard

Till all her children’s heard the call
Till all have seen our Light –Mt.5: 14
Like calves released from out the stall –Mal.4: 2
We’ll put the foe to flight –Deut.32: 30

We’ll serve the bride whom Christ will save
We’ll plough the fields and sow –Mt.28: 19
Till hell becomes an empty grave
Till hearts through Jesus glow –Ps.18: 28

Till streams and rivers bow their head –Ex.14: 16+Jos.3: 17
Till hills and mountains fall –Isa.2: 14
Till we in Christ raise up the dead –Jn.14: 12
And heal whom God will call –Act.3: 16

Till lives are changed through birth anew
Till love lays wide its gate
We can’t continue as we do
We just can’t sit and wait –Am.6: 1

We must recall our lives before! –Deut.5: 15
As captives bound to sin
When locked still tight was Heaven’s door
Till Jesus called us in

We need to heed God’s voice inside
“Rise up in robes of Light –Isa.60: 1
Shine forth as Jesus’ faithful bride
Go out and win the fight”…
