('Dear Lord and Father of mankind')
John Chapter 20 parts
********
John's Gospel Series (25)
The last line of each verse is repeated.
At Jesus' resurrection
He sure the risen one
He showed to Mary, she did know
Though weeping, then filled with joy so
In Him her faith did grow (x2)
To the disciples He appeared
Though they were scared and feared
'Peace be unto you', He did say
He ever still the Life, Truth, Way
Unto eternal day (x2)
Then to Thomas He did show
While still on earth below
His hands, His feet, His side thus seen
Whence once unto death He had been
Now flourish hearts, lives, green* (x2)
For blessed are they that have not seen
Him, on Him they trust, lean
Not seen Him, yet have believed sure
And they Him worship and adore
For ever, evermore (x2)
------------
* Green is seen as a colour symbolising grace.

Thanks Gold.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE lovely poem to wake up to on Saturday Morning ! Love the HYMN we sang it a lot in School (Girls only !) in London. My DAD thought I would do better academically in a Single Sex School (fewer distractions !) I studied A-Level Chemistry : Biology : Psychology and of course Spanish ! This enabled me to study Physiotherapy. Love your series in Gospel of John my fave BOOK in the NT : my fave in the OT is the Psalms ! For Christians the bodily Resurrection of Jesus and his Ascension into Heaven are vital DOCTRINES in all Denominations : AMEN Consequently JOHN 20 is a key chapter. Thanks for sharing LOVE in the Spirit ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks Angela. Going to bed in a couple of hours here in UK. More 'tomorrow'!
