Battle Training Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Too often in life we see things
But spare no thought at all
Then troubles come on eagle wings
Witnessing our fall

We cast aside so much in life
Then find it such a shame
When that same something brings us strife
We say we’re not to blame

Using spiritual barbed wire
With sword of faith in hand
We overcome trials of fire
And learn to understand

We understand the Bible’s right
God’s Word is never wrong
Teaching to walk within The Light
We learn a different song

A song to sing when times are bad
When darkness clouds the mind
And then we sing a song so sad
In tears we walk as blind

Hesitant, we stumble a while
Rubbing our eyes with care
Till once again we start to smile
Seeing God everywhere

Our eyes can see our ears hear
We know than where we are
Wisdom has taught not to fear
For help is never far

The Word of God is always true
His promises will stand
Through faith made free to me and you
Within The Saviour’s hand
