We Must Go on
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

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

       We must go on

God’s work on earth is almost done

His song we choose to sing

We need His strength to carry on

And serve The coming King

 

For one to grow within the Vine

We need The Christ as Lord

We need to know He’s yours and mine

To flee God’s vengeful sword

 

How can we serve, yet count the cost?

How can we fail to give?

Saviour died to save the lost

That we in Him should live

 

Surely His death was not in vain

The price was far too high

Let’s pray our love, would ease the pain

Through which He had to die

 

We need to learn of Jesus more

We need Him as life’s guide

To see God’s Lamb as Heaven’s Door

Salvation’s Way inside

 

Christ knows each thought, the dreams we seek

He knows one’s heart and soul

He sees each need before we speak

And through His love made whole

 

We’ve read His book, we know His might

We’ve heard Salvation’s voice

We’ve drank His blood, beheld the light

We’ve made in Christ our choice

 

So carry on whatever comes

Sitting at Jesus’ feet

On earth rather to eat His crumbs

Than Satan’s choicest meet.....

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.
