A Single Drop Poem by Michael P. Johnson

A SINGLE DROP
You took to hand a fraction soil
You formed man's flesh and bone
Lord pour on me a drop of oil
Soften my heart of stone

A single drop of oil my King
A speck of liquid light
That I through life a song may sing
Putting the foe to flight

Standing for righteousness and love
Through Christ Your Lamb and Son
Anoint my soul from high above
That victory may be won

Anoint me Lord for service here
With faith with hope and trust
With love that takes away all fear
And turns all doubt to dust

A drop to see me through each day
Throughout my darkest eve
A single drop along The Way
Upon Your arm to cleave

Anoint my head my tortured soul
My troubled heart set free
My eyes that I may see the goal
Where Christ would have me be

Only a minute drop my God
No need have I for more
With Jesus as my staff and rod
Victory's more than sure

A drop of oil is all I crave
A drop from Jesus' hand
To save me from the common grave
Safe in The Promised Land.....
