A Child Calling.....
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Michael P. Johnson
Other Poems by Michael P. Johnson


Can anybody hear me?

Does anybody care?

Will anybody help me see?

If God is really there

 

If You are real and Heaven’s true

If hell’s eternal flame

What can I say what can do?

To rid myself of shame

 

I’ve read or heard of Jesus Christ

But did He really live?

Was He The Lamb You sacrificed

Eternal life to give

 

If You are there please tell me straight

If I may hear Your voice

I’ll surely not procrastinate

I’ll make Your Way my choice

 

I’ll place my heart within Your hands

I’ll give my soul as well

I’ll try obeying Your commands

To keep me free from hell

 

Some say if I’d call Jesus’ name

Believe He is Your Son

He’ll bear for me the total blame

And pardon all I’ve done

 

I know I’ve done my neighbours wrong

I’ve lived and walked in shame

I’ll gladly sing a different song

To glorify Your name

 

Perhaps it sounds a little strange

Perhaps my thoughts are right

If You my life will rearrange

I’ll live to Your delight…..

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
