God’s Gift Within (2) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

In Christ we must be Spirit filled –Ro.8: 9
Receive The Precious Dew
He’s come to purge, remove and build –Mt.3: 12
Foundations sound and true –1Pe.2: 5+1Co.3: 10-15

For this! God needs to have His way –1Th.5: 16-24
True faith from you and I –Mt.9: 29
He’ll lead to fast, to often pray –Ac.13: 2
Through Christ, God’s Door on high –Col.3: 17

We all have need of Jesus’ Light –2Co.4: 6
Through whom The Father draws –Jn.6: 44+Jn.12: 32
Obeying Him, we’ll climb the height –1Co.15: 44
We’ll rise through Heaven’s Doors –1Th.4: 16-28

Can true perfection now be reached? –Mt.5: 48
Can man be born-again? -Jn.3: 3
Or is it nonsense Jesus preached? –Mt.-Mk.-Lk.-Jn
And life is all in vain –1Co.15: 12

The Holy Ghost gives eyes to see –1Co.2: 10-12
He pours the truth like wine
This Gift of God so rich and free –Ac.1: 4
Is yours my friend and mine –Joel.2: 28

How empty is the heart of man?
How can he hope to live?
Rejecting yet Salvation’s plan
That Jesus died to give

So blind as fools they stumble round –Jn.12: 40
Rebellion, running wild –1Ti.1: 9-10
No ark of safety can be found –Ac.27: 24
In which they’re reconciled –1Ti.1: 19+2Co.5: 18

We’re not to fool with Jesus’ Flame –Mt.25: 7,30
Sinning both night and day –Pr.1: 7+Eph.4: 30
For then, the Dove who sees the shame –2Ch.16: 9
May rise and fly away –Jdg.16: 20…
