Oh Lord My God Poem by Michael P. Johnson

“Oh Lord my God what have we done?
What can we children say?
We cannot hide nor can we run
From what I’ve heard today

Oh Lord my God can this be true?
Can there be hope for me?
Is nothing left that I can do?
Or someone I may see?

Oh Lord my God how could we fall?
How could we be such fools?
We stand with backs against the wall
Yet still we break Your rules

Oh Lord my God what can be done?
How can You now forgive?
We’ve done so much against Your Son
How can You let us live?

Oh Lord my God I know it’s true
You’re worthy of our praise
In truth this child will worship You
Throughout my life long days

Oh Lord my God please send Your Dove
Please send Your purging Flame
Allow this child be cleansed in love
And give a brand new name

Oh Lord my God these eyes can see
Despite my foolish past
I see Your grace has set me free
I see “The Truth” at last

Oh Lord my God no time’s to waste
Still countless die in sin
Allow Your servant now in haste
Help others fight and win”
