Michael P. Johnson - My Advocate

The Lord will judge the human race
He’ll judge who dwell on high
In righteousness He’ll judge each case
With truth’s all seeing eye


The world may trust in ivory towers
In silver gold and jewels
But by God’s grace by Jesus powers
I’ll live no more a fool


For those with Christ as Lord and friend
Who’ve trusted in His name
Their case with love He will defend
However great their blame


For Jesus blood was shed for me
He chose to bear my pain
He died to set this sinner free
And raise through birth again


So God will see no wayward deed
The evil things I’ve done
When deep inside I’ve bore The Seed
Of Christ His faithful Son


He’ll see no more the things He hates
My wayward life before
Closing for me hell’s yawning gates
He’s opened Heaven’s Door


If now to Christ this life we yield
Heeding each Royal decree
We’ll find in Him our strength and shield
And eyes that truly see


We’ll see the majesty of Christ
We’ll see His Promised Land
The reason He was sacrificed
And truly understand

Michael P. Johnson
