How To Serve Poem by Michael P. Johnson

This is the way to serve my God
I must with Him agree
At times He’ll need to use the rod
In order that I see

I’m His servant when He is Lord
When holding fast this law
For He’s The One who’ll wield the sword
When time becomes no more

If I’ll rise with Him above
I must my Lord obey
To show Him truly I love
I’ll only walk His Way

Forever now I must abide
As I am but the tail
He is The Groom and I’m His bride
Admitting when I fail

Am I to wander to and fro?
Must I not with Him stay?
Asking where or not to go
So not to fall astray

Am I not His is He not mine?
Is Jesus’ love not true?
Does not my heart with His entwine?
When I His love pursue

Never with Him will I fall
Truly I’m in His hand
Obedient to His every call
Because I understand

I understand that He loves me
As a Shepherd His sheep
I love in Him for now I see
His promises He’ll keep
