Who But Jesus? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Who is first and who is last?
Who’ll remain when all has passed?
Who redeems from every land?
Who but Jesus God’s right hand?

Who sees and knows the truth of God?
Who has been where none has trod?
Who’ll always stand when others fall?
Who but Jesus Lord of all?

Who came from God to bear man’s pain?
Who for self sought nought to gain?
Who has power o’er death and grave?
Who but Christ can truly save?

Who chose to die upon the cross?
Who gave His life yet suffered no loss?
Who within man’s heart can dwell?
Who but Christ can flee from hell?

Who has love that cannot fade?
Who’s word alone creation made?
Who can never lose a fight?
Who but Jesus God’s true light?

Who can end all life on earth?
Who can give us second birth?
Who’s blood can cleanse of spot and stain?
Who but Christ who’ll always reign?

Who was there before life’s dawn?
Who saw His death before being born?
Who has creation in His hands?
Who but Jesus understands?

Who from shame can bring release?
Who’ll raise the dead to endless peace?
Who’s perfect life can save from hell?
Who but Christ Salvation’s Well?
