Through life I’ve sang Salvation’s song <br />I’ve had my ups and downs <br />I’ve tried my best to do no wrong <br />But still I’ve raised some frowns <br /> <br />I love my God with heart and soul <br />Though still I feel some pain <br />Christ washed me clean He made me whole <br />I’m free and born again <br /> <br />By grace, I’m in Salvation‘s hand <br />In Christ my life is new <br />Through faith I’ve learned to understand <br />That Jesus’ love is true <br /> <br />Within my Lord I’m more than glad <br />We talk both night and day <br />I seek His joy when feeling sad <br />And for His peace I pray <br /> <br />I’m growing old my hair is white <br />My blood is running thin <br />But praise the Lord for giving Light <br />And freeing me of sin <br /> <br />The world may say my life is through <br />Now soon I’ll see my grave <br />Yet while I’m here I’ll share with you <br />That Christ is here to save <br /> <br />Although of aged flesh and bone <br />Of death I’ve no more fear <br />For Jesus changed this heart of stone <br />And came to dwell in here <br /> <br />Upon the Lord we can depend <br />Through Him we learn to cope <br />I’ll stay in Christ until the end <br />In Him! I’ve placed my hope.<br /><br />Michael P. Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-hope-is-in-jesus-christ/
