I'm Changed
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Michael P. Johnson

             I'm Changed

They said I’d never rise to much

They thought it from the start

But then I felt the Spirit’s touch

When Jesus claimed my heart

 

Though not just heart, but soul and mind

I’m changed! I’m not the same

That child of old is not to find

Not since God’s Kingdom came!

 

The Lamb of God has set me free

To live The Way I should

My robes of light, no one can see

Who’s not of Jesus’ blood

 

Through Christ, my life has all been changed

I’m up; instead of down

Who else but God could so arrange?

For me to wear a crown

 

In Truth I’m changed for all to see

Inside I’m all-aglow

I pray God’s Light would shine through me!

That other’s Christ would know

 

I’m changed I care for others too

I never did before

Truly The Lord has made me new

Right through my very core

 

To many, it may not sound much

My change is no great deal

But since I’ve felt The Spirit’s touch

I know salvation’s real

 

Though still at times the going’s tough

Though life’s not always fine

I’m changed, and can’t say enough

Now love and peace is mine.....

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.
