One of His Disciples?--Feb. 28, 2022

[From Feb. 27, 2006 archive]

 

Are we your disciples, Jesus?

 

We do not know what a day may bring,

so we do not boast about tomorrow;

but today we take refuge in you

and rejoice and sing for joy.

 

Spread your protection over us;

for in you we find encouragement;

in your love is our consolation;

through you we share in the Spirit,

together in compassion and sympathy.

 

May all who love your name exult in you,

be of the same mind in full accord,

and have the same love.

 

No one then will need to ask

if we are your disciples.
