‘Upon the Cross’

'I have revealed your name				upon the cross
I have glorified you						upon the cross
by finishing your work on earth			upon the cross

I have given them						upon the cross
the teaching you gave to me				upon the cross
All I have is yours						upon the cross
and all you have is mine					upon the cross
I am coming to you						upon the cross

May they be one like us					upon the cross
I have watched over them				upon the cross
I passed your word on to them			upon the cross
For their sake I consecrate myself			upon the cross

Father, you are in me and I am in you		upon the cross
With me in them						upon the cross
and you in me							upon the cross
May they be one as we are one			upon the cross

You have loved them						upon the cross
as you loved me							upon the cross

I want those you have given me			upon the cross
to be with me where I am					upon the cross
that they may always see my glory		upon the cross
which you have given me					upon the cross.

I have made your name known to them	upon the cross
and will continue to make it known		upon the cross
SO THAT
the love with which you love me			upon the cross
may be in them							upon the cross
so that I may be in them					upon the cross.

These things are recorded so that you may believe
that Jesus is the Christ 					upon the cross
the Son of God							upon the cross

that believing this you may have life through his name,
'Jesus'             
           'Lord'              
                     'the Lord of Glory'	
										upon the cross.

Good Friday: (Reflection on John 17, also John 20:31 and 1Corinthians 2:8)
