Easter to Pentecost     Easter 7     John  17:20-26, particularly verses 20-23

Unity (YC No 195)

In stories that they share

They tell of Jesus’ prayer;

Disciples see in Christ their Lord

The Father he adored.

He prayed for unity;

For close community;

That all disciples be as one

Like Father and the Son.

 “O Father let them be

In us, like you in me;

Just as the same, I am in you

So, I am in them too.”

The Christ with whom we bond,

And God within, beyond,

Bring love to this deep unity

And forge our destiny.
