Michael P. Johnson Poems

Before this body turns to dust
Before this world I leave
Upon The Lord I've placed my trust
Upon The Rock I'll cleave
...

There’s so much hatred round the place
The world seems not to care
For though we travel into space
There’s fighting in the air
...

From east to west from north to south
Let all creation find
That truth is always in our mouth
And peace is on our mind
...

How deep in life I had to fall
Living a constant lie
But then with back against the wall
I couldn't help but cry
...

“Lord, let my praise scale Your mountain
Let Your grace be a fountain
Allow Your truth fill unsaved ears
There to abide eternal years
...

How foolish are your songs of pride
When Jesus seeks to come inside
Humble yourself reject your shame
Receive my Spirit’s purging flame
...

Through righteousness that’s not our own
Through gifts we now receive
Through Fire that melts a heart of stone
We’ve faith to Christ believe
...

Here and there in oysters fall
A single grain of sand
Producing later a lustrous ball
In a fisher man’s hand
...

Too oft we hear it said today
There was no virgin birth
No God to whom we ought to pray
No Christ who died on earth
...

A WORD TO PARASITES
Some spend themselves though never groan
Whilst Jesus' sheep they feed
They deem God's money not their own
...
