Chains Of Paul & Silas (2) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Praise is the key Christ’s gift at hand
Praise opens wide God’s door
Who this can learn to understand
May live forever more

For when God’s changed our hearts of stone
Once minds have met the flame
We see our mouths don’t praise alone
But deeds in Jesus’ name

For when we open praise our door
When truth our eyes lay wide
Upon The Wind love’s song can soar
From Christ’s eternal bride

When planted firm in Christ life’s root
When nourished in God’s Vine
A faithful branch can bear much fruit
For God the sweetest wine

Give praise to God for all He’s done
Praise He who conquered death
Give praise to whom life’s battle’s won
Sing loud whilst yet we’ve breath

Only a fool will fail to praise
The One to whom its due
Let’s sing life’s song through all our days
To Him who made us new

For all of life is in His hand
Death’s keys and those to hell
Creation bows at Christ’s command
As Satan knows too well

With heart and soul in one accord
With Jesus’ Ghost entwine
The song we sing to Christ The Lord
Will please His heart divine…P.T.O…
