(After reading John 15:1-17)
Father, I extend my soul to follow your rules,
to befriend your heart, do service for you,
because your Son sought you, fulfilled the Law,
I seek you, too, demonstrate love.
First by the knowing he gave all for me.
By this grand mercy, I show grace secondly.
Thirdly your joy flows, causing our own:
to know that we feel what you feel makes us bold!
Some think it dangerous to speak this way.
but the history of God’s works is written and sways,
changing the soul to go after your rule.
Discipleship’s cost is worth objective truth.
