Chime Of The Day December 12, 2018 Self Inspection Viewed Last 24 Hours: 26 times By Michael P. Johnson Other Poems by Michael P. Johnson View / Post Comments Regarding This Poem   Self Inspection   Is your sleep blessed with peace of mind? Is your heart trouble free? Amazing things in truth we find When eyes selfless can see   Please ask yourself if Christ is real? Ask if the bible’s true If God’s aware of how you feel And sees the things you do   Now ask yourself who made the earth? The starry host above Who gave to Eve and Adam birth? If not The King of Love   Just spare a moment, look inside Take stock of how you live Are secrets there you seek to hide? Or wish The Lord to give?   Such thoughts prevail from time to time The young as well as old We each have fallen fowl to crime When lives in truth unfold   The feelings in one’s heart at night The murmurs deep within These thoughts from which we’d soon take flight Are fruit of wayward sin   Regardless of your answer now In spite of how much shame Let wisdom lead your knee to bow Seek God in Jesus’ name   Through God alone is life restored Beneath His healing wing When Christ becomes one’s living Lord Life’s victory song we’ll sing.....
