THE KEYS


When Adam broke The Lord’s decrees
Satan obtained life’s precious keys
We’ve stood condemned to death and loss
Till Christ brought victory through the cross

God’s Lamb saw death but not the grave
Deep in the pit were souls to save
Satan surrendered on his knees
To Jesus Christ life’s precious keys

God’s sheep all knew they’d all be free
That Christ would come and take the key
Each held captive since Adam fell
Now redeemed from death and hell

Life’s keys secure in Jesus’ hand
The living Christ now walks the land
He’s God, He’s Spirit in no place bound
Throughout the earth He may be found

Through Jesus’ blood we’ve second birth
He gives the keys to bind on earth
Power supreme at Jesus feet
Brings to death a swift retreat

Who now have The Holy Ghost
Receive the keys once Satan’s boast
Though still through sin he’ll cause much ill
Without the keys he fails to kill

God’s plan for man is not to die
Life’s keys He’ll give to you and I
Through Christ His Son we see the way
We know the price He had to pay

Though Jesus calls for us to serve
Many will duck others will swerve
Masses will fail to bow their knees
But those in Christ will get the keys…

THE FIELDS ARE WHITE

Oh Lord there’s yet so much to do
Through all You’ve had to give
Others I see have need of You
Yet fail to know You live


You’ve saved this child from death and hell
In faith I walk Your way
But others need to know as well
They need to know today!


To them the devil’s lord and king
They thrive where evil rules
To Satan’s tune they dance and sing
Believing Christ’s for fools


They need to know the truth of Christ!
That life on earth will end
Why Heaven's Lamb was sacrificed
Why knees to Him should bend


The devil though will cheat and kill
Through sin I too was lost!
But now I’m free to do Your will
However high the cost


There are no streets of gold about
No special place refined
Just houses plagued with fear and doubt
With spiritual deaf and blind


How can their eyes be made to see?
The truth so rich on earth
Receive the Light that shines in me?
That leads to second birth


I choose in Christ to join the fight
No longer can I hide
Your precious wheat so tall and white
Must now be brought inside…

Jesus loves you!!!

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Romans 8:38-39: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Praying you continue to grow in both knowing God's love for yourself and sharing His love with others.

John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ​

BE STILL & KNOW


When Jesus’ bride is Spirit led
The Truth is all but late
Yet still so oft we hear it said
“Be patient now and wait”


Who run ahead or lag behind
May often disappear
The blind begin to lead the blind
That leads to doubt and fear


Satan through fear and doubt will steal-
The facts Heaven would give
Be still and know that God is real
And in His strength to live


Yet still we try to go our way
The path we think is right
Until we realize one day
Jesus is out of sight


The Lord we’ve learned to love and trust
Has left us high and dry
We feel our faith has turned to dust
And then we start to die


The devil’s job is to deceive
He’ll kill he’ll lie and cheat
His evil thoughts; we oft believe
Could cause a soul’s defeat


He knows the time when faith is low
When man’s not far from sin
He knows from God we fail the flow
Then like a flood he’s in!


Be still allow The Lord to guide
His love’s forever true
It’s we; who’ve left the Saviour’s side!
And think He’s out of view

THE PERFECT MAN


Adam, through sin had caused a storm -Gen.2:17-18
His grief would see no end
So God sought out a human form
To which He would descend

A virgin bride was found on earth -Mt.1:18
Untouched, her robe of white -Lk.1:27
Of flesh, God’s son was given birth -Mt.1:23
Conceived of perfect light -Jn.1:9

The Son of man grew straight and tall
The Holy God inside -Mt.1:23
Would bring about the devil’s fall -Gen.3:15
And be the perfect guide

Upon the cross, to death ordained -Nu.21:8+Jn.3:14
The curse of man He’d take -Dt.21:23
Festooned in guilt till life was drained -Jn.1:29
In glory He’d awake -Ac.3:13

God’s Spirit left Him on the tree -Mt.27:46+Jn.19:10
Man hung there all alone
Now man, through Christ alone is free -Gal.5;1
Through mortal flesh and bone

God said. ”You’ve now become my Son -Ac.13:33+Heb.1:5
My will; have You obeyed -Php.2:8
The work O God, You’ve now begun -1Cor.3:11
Will grow and never fade”-1Cor.3:10

On Heaven’s throne the perfect man -Heb.12:2
Sits at His Father’s side -Ps.110:1
So those within His holy plan -Mt.19:29
May come to be His bride -Rev.19:7

But first to self; we too must die -1Cor.15:31
All sinful lust yet kill -Ro.8:13
Before we come to God on high
So was and is God’s will. ​

WITNESSING


They stood to witness in the street
Their lives in Christ anew
Calling in love at Jesus’ feet
Yet heard by just a few


It’s good to hear when others share
“God touched my heart today”
I loved their songs, their childlike prayers
Whilst I was on my way


It’s such a thrill God’s Truth to hear
His praises flood the land
See Christians dance, raise joyous cheer
That others understand


I saw the joy upon each face
Within their legs a spring
They spoke of Christ, of Heaven’s grace
I felt my heart take wing


Till then, of God I gave no thought
No need of Christ and yet
Twas through their fruit, this fish was caught
So firm in Jesus’ net


How strange to think I gave no fight
No struggle to be free
Instead, I felt a great delight
As Christ came into me


Now Truth is mine, these eyes can see
My former path was wrong
Yet Heaven's Lamb has set me free
To sing the world my song


For by God’s grace I’m born anew
In Jesus safe and sound
Now on the street I’ve joined the few
So others may be found…

THEY SEEK HIM HERE
They seek Him here they seek Him there
They seek Him more and more
The Truth they’re seeking everywhere
Yet fail to find The Door


The Door to life is far from fine
Not silver, gold nor brass
No beauty, man could call Devine
And so they quickly pass


They seek a place to suit their taste
A pleasure to the eye
But without Truth, their time they’ll waste
And just like fools they’ll die


Others believe they have it made
They’ve gone an extra mile
Yet Spirit void, they wilt and fade
They sit in church and smile


Religion’s spread through every land
Traditions, take pride of place
Through works, they seek to understand
But God still hides His face


Yet Jesus died to set us free
It’s written in “The Book”
Salvation’s cross is plain to see
But which of us will look?


A strong delusion! God will send
To those who Christ refuse
Although through deeds they hope to live
Their lives they’ll surely lose


Religion cannot rise above
However much is tried
God’s church is based on Heavens’ love
Through which our Saviour died ...Michael P. Johnson​

IT FEELS SO GOOD WITHOUT (1)


We can’t escape the coming wrath
If we don’t seek the Door
If we don’t walk upon the path
The Lord has lain before


The Door is Christ Salvation’s Way
God’s Holy Son from high
The Shepherd of God’s flock astray
The Lamb God gave to die


Before Christ died to set us free
There was no way to know
But through His death our eyes can see
There’s but one-way to go


Redemption induces spiritual sight
To eyes that once were blind
Like brother Paul we see the Light
The facts that heal the mind


The devil hides what Christ would tell
I laughed when others told
The said I too was bound for hell
If I left Jesus cold


I shrugged it off as quite absurd
Still blind in wayward sin
The truth of Christ I’d never heard
So failed to let Him in


I thought such fools are awfully sad
That they should come to me!
Yet Jesus saw the need I had
And came to set me free


I may not know how Jesus came
Or know the reason why?
But since He did I’m not the same
I know I’ll never die...

IT FEELS SO GOOD WITHOUT (2)


God’s glorious light, to me was sent
They told me of His plan
Twas then I knew what Jesus meant
Twas then “true” life began

I’m healed I’m cleansed of all past crimes
Through Christ I’m born anew
These eyes can see how many times
God’s truth is held from view

So many choose the devil’s way
They fail to serve the Lord
They’ll see the Truth on judgement day
Wielding His thirsty sword

It’s time to turn our lives around
Hell’s road is awfully wide
But God will guide to hallowed ground
Through Jesus Christ inside

He sees the lost in need of love
Who doubt and say, “He’s not”
But God just wants to send His Dove
And give us all He’s got

For this! God’s Lamb was lifted up
For this He bore such pain
Allow His love to fill your cup
and cleanse of every stain

Just open wide to life my friend
Let Jesus be your guide
Allow the truth to finally end
Your shame and worldly pride

Refuse the devil’s evil wares
Cast down your foolish doubt
Give Christ your burdens and your cares
It feels so good without!

WHEN CHRIST FIRST COMES


The rush inside seems quite unreal
You feel you’ve left the ground
You change so much at first you feel
As though you’re Heaven bound


You can’t sit still, no need to sleep
You seem to friends quite odd
Your heart’s so full you long to leap
Straight in the arms of God


I’m saved! I’m saved! You leap and cry
Your thoughts are full of love
In Christ you feel you want to die
And join Him high above


But life in Christ has just begun
We’ve just received the sword
Battles must first be fought and won
Before we join our Lord


Yet deep inside like butterflies
You’re vibrant, full of zest
No matter how the devil tries
Sweet joy pulsates your breast


You seek the bible night and day
It’s always close at hand
You find you have a lot to say
Yet don’t quite understand


You want to sing, you want to shout
Go out and tell the earth
That’s what salvation’s all about
Thank God for second birth


My love of God has not grown cold
Joy’s bubble hasn’t burst
Though years have passed, now grey and old
Yet still for Christ I thirst.
