Isaiah 49: 1-6; Psalm 71: 1-6; 15 and 17; John 13: 21-33, 36-38

you knew us
from our
mother’s womb
step by step
even as we
do not know
ourselves
betrayers
deniers
beloved
not standing
in our way
only standing
in Truth
a Glory of God
for all to see
a light
of salvation
to the nations
in you we take refuge
with this love
we sing

What does God see in you?
