The Jesus Spirit Poem by Greg Oosterhouse

Though friends forsake me,
They betray and abandon,
Though my enemies take me,
They beat me and deny that I am one

That is here to save,
May I maintain a Jesus spirit.
I want those that have,
And those that have not to hear it,

That the key to life is love.
The answer to good living
Is to look to God above,
And to keep on giving

Love to their sisters and brothers.
Also to believe in the ultimate sacrifice,
Through which, they and others
are saved from the vise

Grip of sin, which stands for death.
To repent of that sin is life.
So with my very breath,
I ask the Lord to remove strife

From all people, and give them the Jesus spirit.
Then all would live their whole lives in love.
May the most distant stars in the universe hear it,
That uproarious shout from all peoples to God above.
