I Will Remain Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

In my mind and spirit, I will be humble,
Obedient to the Lord's command;
I will let myself be held
By His long and loving hand.

In my heart and soul, I will be brave,
Strong midst days and hours so perilous;
I will stand steadfast and firm,
Fighting to emerge truly victorious.

In faith and hope, I will abound,
Trusting in the Lord's promise;
Never will I have reservation,
Nor will I doubt eternal bliss.

In love, I will overflow,
Keeping it alive and aglow;
Not only in word but also in deed,
With it, my whole being will grow.

Solid in serving the Almighty,
I'll keep on going despite the pain;
I'll vow and pray to finish my race,
In His great love, I will remain.
