Testimony
The union of Your children is a testimony to
The purpose of their being to reflect Your Son and You
A bond of love and fellowship that cannot know divide
Where grace that is most limitless is always to abide
But that which brings division to this bond of one accord
In those who are Your children when Your love has been ignored
Reflects instead rejection of Your perfect bond of Truth
Wherein is known Your Spirit Who abides with us from youth
Your Spirit Who is Holy Who dwells in the ones we are
Who only ever speaks Your will that's spoken from afar
Who moves in us with purpose to reflect Your realm above
Where all who dwell around you are reflective of Your love
But here we've yet to truly know the meaning of the phrase
“God stablish you and keep you through the merits of His grace”
As we've yet to abandon what Your eyes can truly see
The self deceptive falsehood that hides our perversity
That claims to understand You when in truth we are apposed
To virtues of Your character that will be found in those
Who truly lay themselves aside to show the world the same
Dimensions of Your character once found in Jesus' name
When those who were Your followers received Your early rain
That will be seen most visibly before You come again
In those who are the remnant of what started long ago
When those who were Your followers determined not to know
A single thing in character to turn the world away
From Christ and Christianity we call the living Way
Because to them the promise of eternal life with You
Was their true motivation in all things they chose to do
For only those who listen when they take the time to pray
To what Your Spirit teaches through Your scriptures everyday
And live the love You give us to all other ones we meet
Are truly those who love You and will sit at Jesus' feet
So Lord help us to love You like we've never done before
To live as Jesus taught us giving all we are and more
By loving as You love us that the world in us might see
The Truth that's found in Jesus in its full capacity
Jeremiah 11:1-5; 1 Peter 5:5-11
