May They Be One poem

by: Bob Hartman

This is a poetic re-telling of Jesus prayer for the disciples in John 17:20-26. You could use it when focusing on themes of unity, community and being "in Christ".

Extract from the poem:

And Jesus said:

This is my prayer. My prayer for the disciples who follow me now. And my prayer for all the disciples to come.

One. May they be One.
As I am One with you, Father.
As you are One with me.
May they be One. One with us.
So the world will believe that you have sent me.

One. May they be One.
For you have given me your glory,
and that's why I have passed it on to them.
That they might be like you and me.
That they might be One.

One. May they be One.
Completely One.
I in them.
You in me.
One.
So the world will know you sent me,
and that you love them,
just like you love me...
