Easter to Pentecost     Day of Pentecost     John 14:8-17, (25-27), particularly verses 8-14

I am in the Father (YC No 196)

Gospel writers tell us of our gracious Lord,

Praising him as Master, one whom they adored;

All they could remember pointed them to God,

Even as they treasured where his footsteps trod.

We now look to Jesus pointing to the way

Of abundant living each and every day.

In their vivid stories of his love and care

They saw God the Father’s love beyond compare;

When they looked at Jesus they saw God expressed;

In his very person God was manifest.

We now look to Jesus pointing to the way

God is present in us each and every day.

 “Show to us the Father.”, Philip asked to see;

Jesus promptly answered, “Philip, look at me.”

“I am in the Father; He abides in me.”

With such words, disciples shared their memory.

We now look to Jesus pointing to the way

How the Father guides us each and every day.

We affirm their witness; Jesus is the one

Who reveals God in us, as in everyone;

With him let us honour our humanity,

And with him reflect a true divinity.

As we look to Jesus each and every day

Let us, as disciples, put love on display.
