Poem for 5th Sunday of Easter John 13:31-35

Jesus the Christ

Emmanuel, Lord with us

the God who created all

---- and sustains all

-------- and saves all

lived among us

---- taught us

---- cared for us

---- loved us

---- brought us new life

and left us with the command

Love one another

in the midst of strife and conflict

in the midst of war

---- Love one another

in the midst of families

and finances

---- Love one another

it is then we hear Christ

know Christ

see Christ

in the smile of a child

and the tears of a friend

the laughter in the halls

and the sun in the sky

Love one another

and in doing so

know

---- of God’s love for you

Christ
