Selfrighteousness Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Me go to church would be in vain
There’s nothing more to see
At home I’ve so much more to gain
The church has nought for me

Of course! I’m saved I testify
I witness those I meet
I know The Lord won’t let me die
Like those still on the street

But frequent church I have no need
God hears at home my prayer
I have inside Salvation’s Seed
Through which I’ll have my share

I’ve no more need to go to church
I know the truth and more!
Heaven won’t leave me in the lurch
Nor close to me life’s door

No need to tell me where to go
Nor how I ought to pray
I have more knowledge in my toe
Than most of you today

Self-righteous me! Oh no my friend
It’s just you fail to see
So don’t you judge and then pretend
You’re more like Christ than me

Allow me live as I see fit
I know God’s wealth I’ve got
Now go along and do your bit
With that righteous lot

I know of God I know the law
I’ve heard of judgement day
I know it all and so much more
So just be on your way…...
