I Must Go On Poem by Michael P. Johnson

God’s work on earth is almost done
His song I’ve chose to sing
I need His strength to carry on
And serve my coming King


For me to grow within the Vine
I need The Christ as Lord
I need to know He’s truly mine
To flee God’s vengeful sword


How can I serve, yet count the cost?
How can I fail to give?
My Saviour died to save the lost
That we in Him should live


For me! His death was not in vain
The price was far too high
I pray my love, would ease the pain
Through which He had to die


I need to learn of Jesus more
I need Him as my guide
I see God’s Son as Heaven’s Door
Salvation’s Way inside


Christ knows each thought, the dreams I seek
He knows my heart and soul
He sees each need before I speak
And through His love I’m whole


I’ve read His book, and know His might
I’ve heard my Saviour’s voice
I’ve drank His blood, I’ve seen the light
I’ve made in Christ my choice


I’ll carry on whatever comes
I’ll sit at Jesus’ feet
On earth I’d rather eat His crumbs
Than Satan’s choicest meat
