Unity in God's Name

Then Jesus vocalized
And Lifted up His eyes
Looking up to heaven
He voiced in expression
Father, the hour has come
So, glorify Your Son

That He may then thereby
Also You glorify
You gave authority
Over all flesh to Me
To give life evermore
To those You gave Me for

This is life immortal
To know You, God truthful
And Jesus Christ You sent
Honoring You I went
I’ve done the work You gave
My past glory I crave

Your name to those I showed
From the world You bestowed
Yours, You gave them to Me
They have kept Your decree
They’ve known what You gave Me
From You ultimately

Your words I gave to them
And they have received them
And know this to be true
That I came forth from You
They believe You sent Me
My prayer for them would be

For the world’s not my plea
But for those You gave Me
For they belong to You
All that’s Mine is Yours too
And all Yours are My men
I’m glorified in them

I’m no more in the world
But these are in the world
To You I come again
So keep them through Your name
That those You’ve given Me
May be one just as We

John 17:1-11

Our Advocate

If you love Me, keep My commands
I’ll pray that from the Father’s hands
He’ll give you another Helper
To abide with you forever

Spirit of truth, the world can’t take
To His presence it’s not awake
But you know Him, He dwells with you
What men can’t see will be in you

I won’t forsake you as orphans
I’ll come to you, you’ve importance
Soon the world will see Me no more
But you will see Me, that’s quite sure

Because I live, you’ll live also
And when that day comes you will know
I in My Father, you in Me
I’m in you, so keep my decree

He who has and keeps My commands
He loves Me and is in God’s hands
He’s loved by My Father above
To him I’ll show Myself in love

John 14:15-21

A Place for You

In My Father’s house there’s much room
I go to make a place for you
I’ll come again and receive you
That where I am, you may be too

And you all know where I’m going
And the way you should be knowing
Thomas said, “We don’t have a clue
And don’t know where you’re going to

Jesus told him, “I am the way
The truth, and the life let me say
Nobody comes to the Father
Except through Me and no other

If you’d known Me, you’d have known Him
From now on you’ve known and seen Him
Philip said, show us the Father
That suffices; that we’d rather

Jesus said, “Have you not known Me?
In Me the Father you have seen
I’m in the Father; He’s in Me
I speak with His authority

Believe Me because of the deeds
Greater works does he who believes
So ask anything in My name
And I will do it just the same

John 14:1-14

The Gate

If someone sneaks over the wall
Dodging the gate of the sheep stall
Must be a thief and a robber
The gate is the way that’s proper

Through the gate is the shepherd’s choice
And the sheep recognize His voice
So He calls his own sheep by name
And to follow Him is their aim

A stranger they just won’t follow
Deceptive voices won’t swallow
But for them His words were too deep
He said, I’m the gate for the sheep

Before me were robbers and thieves
Their words any true sheep just leaves
Those who come through me will be saved
With the abundant life they’ve craved

John 10:1-10

Mystery Journey

Two were going to Emmaus
And Jesus drew near to discuss
But they didn’t recognize Him
He asked why they sounded so grim

Cleopas asked, haven’t you heard
And He asked them what was the word
So they said, a Prophet is dead
We hoped for redemption instead

Crucified, yet our women say
That He’s alive again today
Then Jesus said, Don’t be so slow
The prophets spoke, and you should know!

Then He expounded their writings
And all about the Good Tidings
And they invited Him to stay
Breaking of bread did Him betray

And they said, “Didn’t our hearts burn
When to the Scriptures He did turn
So they went to Jerusalem
Found the eleven and told them

Luke 24:13-35

A Faithful Friend

Genuine friends are forever
They're here through all kinds of weather
Whether we're rich or poor they're here
They don't suddenly disappear

They may have different politics
They may even hurl verbal bricks
But they're always there and they care
They're precious and they are so rare

So if you find a faithful friend
Who's not so easy to offend
Thank God for their kind faithfulness
For life without them is a mess

Holy Thursday

‘Twas the night before Passover
Jesus’ hour had come moreover
He loved his own unto the end
He knew Judas wasn’t His friend

Jesus got up and washed their feet
Understand why I’ve done this feat
You should also this deed repeat
And thus you’ll wash each other’s feet

I’ll be with you a little while
While I endure a gruesome trial
A new command I give to you
Love each other as I’ve loved you

John 13

Hosanna

Say to the daughter of Zion
‘Look, coming to you is your King
Lowly, sitting on a donkey
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’

As that donkey carried its load
A crowd spread their clothes on the road
Others cut down branches from trees
And spread them on the road with ease

A multitude went before Him
Shouted: “Hosanna to David’s son!
Bless him who comes in the Lord’s name
Hosanna from heaven proclaim!”

Matthew 21:1-11

Lazarus

Lazarus was sick and he died
His sisters to Jesus applied
Jesus said, It’s for God’s glory
So let’s go back to Judea

Lazarus was buried four days
Probably at the stinking phase
Jesus said that he’d rise again
I’m the life and resurrection

Believe in me and never die
Jesus wept, as he heard their cry
“Take away the stone,” about
He shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”

“Take off the grave clothes, let him go.”
The number who believed did grow

John 11

The Blind See

That man is sick. He's got a tick
Let's throw a brick. Give him a kick

There must be sin Somewhere therein
His next of kin? Where to begin?

To criticize, Or to apprise
This man's demise And his blind eyes

Jesus just bent, Without judgment
Gave his consent, Healed his torment
