Who but Jesus?
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

     Who but Jesus?

Who is first and who is last?

Who’ll remain when all has passed?

Who redeems from every land?

Who but Jesus God’s right hand?

 

Who sees and knows the truth of God?

Who was and is where no one’s trod?

Who’ll always stand when others fall?

Who but Jesus Lord of all?

 

Who suffered torment bore man’s pain?

Who suffered death nought to gain?

Who has power o’er death and grave?

Who but Jesus Christ can save?

 

Who chose to die upon a cross?

Who gave His life yet bore no loss?

Who in man’s heart can serve and dwell?

Who but Jesus frees from hell?

 

Who has love that will never fade?

Who from nought creation made?

Who lived and breathed before their birth?

Who but Jesus rules the earth?

 

Who can take and establish life?

Who can end the world of strife?

Who makes pure man’s heart and soul?

Who but Jesus makes us whole?

 

Who was ever before man’s dawn?

Who witnessed death before being born?

Who has creation in His hands?

Who but Jesus understands?

 

Who from shame can bring release?

Who will cause all wars to cease?

Who can fulfil man’s every dream

Who but Jesus life’s living Stream.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
