FOREVER!
Forever! And know what it means
Eternity in Light
When truth’s removed life’s shadowed screens
And death has lost its fight

Wondrous joy, incredible peace
With Jesus hand in hand
To know God’s love will never cease
And truly understand

Blessed is the child who sees these things
The soul Salvation’s kissed
Who’ll rise one day on eagle wings
Beyond death’s temporary mist

How great to know such awesome grace
To know our Father’s will
To know one day we’ll see His face
And have of love our fill

But until then there’s life to crown
God’s chosen path to tread
To pull the devil’s fortress down
And raise the very dead

For this is what we’re meant to do
One reason why we’re blessed
Chosen to join Salvation’s few
Upon this splendid quest

That others know, that others see
That others comprehend
That others walk completely free
With Christ as Lord and Friend

Oh Lord dear God anoint Your child
Call others to The Cause
That others may be reconciled
And raise their hands in Yours
Michael P. Johnson


I loved this poem because it points to the Lord Jesus Christ as the Saviour of our souls, acknowledges the divine grace poured out so freely on us, encourages us to walk in hope as we journey on and to share the hope we have in Christ with those who don't yet know the Lord. A beautiful poem. :)

DEATH’S KNEES WILL BEND

Telephones ring both night and day
Letters come through the door
Another loved one’s passed away
We’ll see on earth no more

We’ve Brothers, sisters, husbands wives
A child or friend grown old
Such are the scenes of normal lives
Its nature! So we’re told

But praise The Lord their battle’s won
Praise God for Calvary Tree
Thank God for Jesus Christ His Son
Who’s blood had set us free

Such times we utter silent prayer
Recalling moments passed
That precious time we had to share
Not knowing twas the last

Twas just last week or yesterday
We saw their smiling face
We saw them kneel we saw them pray
With lives adorned with grace

One day to Christ death’s knees will bend
When every race is run
We’ll greet again both kin and friend
Saved loved ones long since gone

For though for them we’ll grieve a while
From heart and soul we’ll cry
Yet one day soon again we’ll smile
As guaranteed on high

Thank God for hope for peace of mind
For faith and joy untold
Thank God death’s chains no longer bind
The sheep of Jesus’fold

Michael P. Johnson

GOD’S WELL OILED MACHINE

Like living cogs in life’s machine
We’re interactive parts
God makes performance true and clean
Through power in our hearts

Although life’s pressures may increase
On piston valve and rod
Function’s maintained in every piece
Within the hands of God


Yet in the work’s quite oft we see
The devil’s spanner fall
But Jesus comes to set us free
When on His name we call


Maintenance is a daily chore
So work may never cease
The Master’s hand seeks out each flaw
In each and every piece


No part can function out of sink
This rule’s made all too plain
As chains judged by their weakest link
Will always bear the strain


How smooth united parts will run
When free of filth and grime
When by the hand of Christ God’s Son
We’re oiled from time to time


Each part well formed in Jesus’ hand
Will storm and flood prevail
Will now complete the work as planned
Will run and never fail


Each valve maintained, all cogs precise
In Christ we’re made complete
For this was Jesus sacrifice
Uniting God’s elite…

Michael P. Johnson

I am enjoying his poems so much! This one jumped out at me because I think of myself as his machine.. his vessel and I love how it speaks about it and God's part in making it all work! Praise God!

WHO WHAT HOW

How can the voice of God be heard
How can we see God’s face
Who can believe such things absurd
Escaping death’s embrace

Who can reserve tomorrows dawn
Who can remove life’s stain
What can we do to be reborn
And live no day in vain

What can achieve eternal peace
Who can the grave survive
Who from hell’s fire can bring release
To ever stay alive

How is a man His flesh to kill
How can salvation be
How can a man be living still
That died upon a tree

Man’s full of doubts through Satan’s lies
Though wisdom’s close at hand
The Truth that’s brought to foolish eyes
Most fail to understand

For this we need The Ghost of Christ
The Gift God gives us free
We need The Lamb God sacrificed
Salvations Word to see

We need God’s Fire to burn inside
We need our hearts to change
We need God’s Spirit as our guide
Our lives to rearrange

Love’s Light will enter through our doors
Our eyes will truly see
We’ll cease to be the devil’s harlots
When Truth has set us free

Michael P. Johnson
I believed God loves all of us very much and I believed that God want us to believed in Him and all the great things He has done for all of us....He is always there watching and protecting us...this is how I feel when I read this poem ya!
