Rise Up & Follow Poem by Michael P. Johnson

We play as clowns and act like fools
We live just as we please
We disobey Life’s golden rules
Believing no one sees



Is God alive or is He dead?
Is hell and Heaven real?
Let’s think a while, let’s look ahead
What grace may yet reveal



Let’s turn to what the bible says
Let Spirit feed the mind
Lift up in faith our inner gaze
And see what facts we find



Humble your-self let faith run free
A little while be still
Allow your soul The Truth to see
Your heart to drink its fill



Let faith dismiss all foolish doubt
Let hope a crown receive
Feel free to dance to sing and shout
And through God’s Gift believe



Let Jesus open wide your eyes
His love your soul caress
His Light disclose demonic lies
His joy consume life’s stress



For righteousness to be restored
For peace to reign as planned
Accept The Christ as sovereign Lord
And take His mighty hand



Receive God’s Gift His Perfect Light
Receive God’s Lamb as King
Allow His Flame your soul ignite
Rise up and follow Him
