Where Do The Dead Go? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Is hell for real is Heaven true?
Is death the last result?
What is the different churches view?
And that of the occult

What does religion have to share?
What has the world to say?
Does either think or even care
When to their gods they pray

Where are the dead before The Christ?
Before He was revealed
Before God’s Lamb was sacrificed
Before the bride was healed

Where are the saints of yesteryear?
Who Jesus came to save
Have they received of Heaven’s share?
Or rest within the grave?

What happens to those in Christ who die?
What does the bible tell?
Do some rise up to dwell on high?
While others burn in hell

What does the bible truly say?
What has God’s word to show?
Do souls go each a different way?
Where else do spirits go?

Where does a child of God reside?
Who’ve found in Christ delight?
Is there a place where souls can hide?
Until the time is right

The bible’s here for all to see
The word of God’s quite plain
Only The Truth that sets us free
Can bring us back again
