People say that no one was waiting on Bishop Johnson's resurrection.
This poem was just republished on the internet in reference to Bishop Johnson's resurrection from the dead. There are those who are still expecting him to come alive again.

He'll Be Back"
(Dedicated to the Honorable Apostle Bishop S.C. Johnson who departed this life on February 22, 1961 in Kingston, Jamaica)
(The Whole Truth, April, 1961, page 10.)

Our Bishop has gone for a much needed rest.
His children all miss him, but God knew best.
He was tired and worn from many a days
Turning the people from their wicked ways.
... BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, HE'LL BE BACK.

He preached and preached us out of sin,
Many not wanting, but had to come in
Believing this to be the only way
To escape that awful Judgment Day.
... BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, HE'LL BE BACK.

Oh how he taught us to believe the Lord.
Don't trust man, but only God,
For He's the one that going to work;
The miracle that will bring him from the dirt.
THAT'S WHY IT'S ALL RIGHT, HE'LL BE BACK.

Some don't believe and some won't say
That he'll be back in our day.
But oh how I do believe the Lord.
That's why my heart is filled with joy.
BECAUSE HE'LL BE BACK.

God said to believe on Him as the scripture hath said.
Why think it incredible that He should raise the dead?
He made no exceptions nor called any name.
So if you don't believe this, your work is in vain.
... BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, HE'LL BE BACK.

The false prophets are raging and showing themselves.
Still preaching and damning poor souls to Hell.
They think that now this is their chance
To give the people a song and a dance.
... BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, HE'LL BE BACK.

False prophets stop raging and listen:
All of Bishop's words you'd better take heed.
You had nothing then and you have nothing now,
So come off the pulpit and obey Bishop Johnson.
... BECAUSE HE WILL BE BACK.

Saints of God in the Lord be strong,
Believing He'll raise the dead is nothing wrong.
He said "If thou shouldest believe.
The glory of God thou would see."
SO IT'S ALL RIGHT, HE'LL BE BACK.

His golden voice is yet in the land,
Preaching the gospel to every man.
Still telling the world just how to escape
Hell and damnation and that burning lake.
... BUT HE'LL BE BACK.

Saints of God continue to hold on
His promise is true, the victory is won.
Bishop said, "It's alright, the victory is ours."
So look and believe to the last hour.
HE'LL BE BACK.
