Who'Ll Learn To Live? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

When Heaven’s gift of faith’s received
When hope is multiplied
When God we trust and have believed
The reason Jesus died

Some learn to live by each mistake
Some learn in truth to thrive
A few find love for Heaven’s sake
Through Jesus Christ alive

He’s Lord, God born King of the Jew
Counsellor, life long Guide
Creator of all and Doctor too
When dwelling deep inside

Friend of the rich friend of the poor
Lover of all in need
Life’s bitter Pill, life’s sweetest Cure
And Bread on which to feed

He’s Peace He’s Joy to those who grieve
Water to quench our thirst
But who of us will God believe
And put Christ Jesus first

Who’ll die to sin and live to rise?
Who’ll trust where others fall?
Who’s faith will open wide their eyes?
And find He’s all in all

Who’ll seek to learn His perfect will
Who’ll love Him and obey
Who’ll live and walk with Him until
Beyond the narrow way

Blessed is the child who does these things
Who’s love is rich and true
They’ll soar through faith on eagle wings
To perfect life anew
