Abiding Within

We have known Christ very long;
Still your faith is not very strong;
He, who knows Him as a Brother,
Has also seen the Heavenly Father.

He is in the Father as He in Christ,
But you do not trust or feel enticed;
The words I speak are not my own,
Rather of the Father on His throne.

Believe in Christ dwelling within,
The Father and being free of all sin;
Believe for the sake of His deeds,
Stay within Him to meet your needs.

Ask God through Christ in His name,
And it shall be done for to proclaim;
If you love Him then keep His laws,
You will be forgiven of your flaws.

The Spirit of truth you not receive,
If you do not abide in and believe;
Having good faith at the very end,
Christ will take you as a friend.
