Who Is This Jesus? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Who’s this Jesus, men speak about?
Was He God’s Son and heir?
Did He arise to end man’s doubt?
And endless life to share

Is He whom Jews are waiting for?
Is He The Living Lord
Is He The Key to Heaven’s Door?
Man’s hope and great reward

Is He a myth or fairy tale?
Some legend from afar
Is He The One that cannot fail?
God’s Bright & Morning Star

Conflicts and wars have long been fought
Not few in hope would die
Many have heard the true report
Yet still we wonder why

Life’s great question life’s great reply
Life’s source and flowing stream
Who lived to live for death to die
Through righteousness supreme

In Him we live we love and pray
Acquainted with sorrow
Placing our hope in Him today
Guarantees tomorrow

The day for which our knees now bend
Our aim our final goal
Through which our lives today depend
Pledging our precious soul

Till God’s revealed in perfect sight
The fruit of all our love
Upon a cloud of brilliant white
And calls His bride above
