Shall I?


One of my favorite musicians is Jeff Johnson. I have followed his musical journey since I was a teenager living on the Oregon Coast. His music makes me think and I do like to think! If you do not know of his music, I highly recommend it.

As Warrie and I were deciding whether or not to return to life on a ship in Africa early in 2017, I found myself listening to the song, Shall I? by Jeff Johnson. The words encouraged me as we continued to pray about joining the Africa Mercy as a family.

God speaks in many ways. The Bible is the main way that I get direction from God, but He also uses music, nature, people, events, etc... I am thankful that God has used the music of Jeff Johnson many times throughout the years to guide me closer to Him.

Thanks, Jeff!

Shall I?

By Jeff Johnson – Words based on a text from "The Pilgrim" featured in "A Golden Treasury Of Irish Poetry (AD 600 - 1200).

Shall I, King of the mysteries, Point my face to the sea, And turn my back on my native land, With your hand keeping me?
