('God moves in a mysterious way')
John 17 v.1-5
*********
John's Gospel Series (21)
Christ prayed for Himself, and prayed for
His disciples for sure
And too prayed for all believers
We His life-receivers
He prayed, Father, the hour is
Come, I assured of this
Glorify your Son, that your Son
Glorify you, the One
The One, Father, to your Son you
Gave power to Him too
Power over all flesh, that He
The true life-giver be
That He should give lifer eternal
To all, that none my fall
To all those that the Father gave
To the Son, and them save
And this is life eternal, this
He prays that none it miss
'Tis that they may know you the one
True God and too His Son
His Son, Jesus Christ, who was sent
From the Father, He went
From heaven to earth and glorified
The Father, [Christ] lived and died
Then rose again, His ministry
It perfect, complete be
He prayed, Father, glorify me
With your glory, so be
For it be the glory which He
Had before the world, see
When co-existing, Father, Son
And Spirit, Three in One

Great stuff - has your voice broken yet? After yesterdays surgery I think mine has just started.
Thanks M. Yes - voice broken - all in pieces though!
Another good one in the series Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Orchi,
A very fine posting! It’s good to know that even Jesus prayed for himself!
Great pic. The side view looks like the church my mom goes to in my hometown in Italy!
