Becoming Family in Christ

John 13:31-35

The Son of man glorified as God is in Him,
Been glorified in the light where it is dim;
For the glory has come from God to shine,
As an eternal flame powered by the Divine;
Christ stood among us just for a short stay,
But shall return to earth on Judgment Day;
In the mean time we continue our search,
In the return of Christ our plea in church;
For where He has gone we can not follow,
But fear not having to be living in sorrow;
He left us with a law to love one another,
Treating others as your sister or brother.
We are all one family in the eyes of Christ,
Apt by our Heavenly Father as sacrificed;
For those who believe He gives eternal life,
Of alternatives of being troubled by strife;
He also adopts us as part of our salvation,
To become His children in His foundation;
By loving each other you will be disciples,
Making brothers and sisters as your pupils.
