The lovely prayer of Jesus in
chapter seventeen,
Recorded in John’s Gospel. Will
ever they be seen?
They can’t be wishful thinking,
for He meant every word.
And Father God was listening,
so Jesus’ prayer was heard.
He didn’t pray for nothing. He
had something in mind.
Which most of us can’t comprehend,
for most of us are blind!
We can’t see in the spirit. We
only ever see,
In our own dimension of “non-reality”.
But Jesus brought us something,
far more than merely sight.
He brought a brand new covenant
to flood our souls with light.
His purpose and intention was
to melt our hearts of stone,
And make them soft and pliable.
More like His very own.
He sought to take our
stubbornness; which fought against God’s will.
So each of us would long for it
and follow it until,
We passed into the portals of
where He reigns on high.
He wanted to give all of us, a
chance to never die!
He came to teach us sinners the
way that we should walk.
So that we all could be like
Him and not just talk the talk.
He came to make us holy. He
came to teach the truth.
To bring His special Kingdom to
the adults and the youth.
He came to consecrate us and
set us on the way,
To being what He wanted, as day
succeeds to day.
He came to give us purpose; to
be one in heart and mind,
The way He and His Father
originally designed.
He came to teach His people
from then until today.
To walk in true obedience and
follow all the way.
He wants us to be disciplined
with deep humility;
Committed to each other and do
it faithfully.
To set out on a journey, the
journey of our lives.
To see that what He’s planted,
matures and truly thrives.
To live the Christian lifestyle
each moment of each day.
To love our Christian brothers
and neighbours all the way.
Not with good intentions but by
doing what we should,
To help the people whom we meet
and seek to do them good.
To let His Spirit lead us in
ways we wouldn’t go,
Unless we were directed in ways
we’ll never know.
O Lord, it is impossible we’re
only flesh and bone;
And know we’ll never do it if
you leave us all alone.
