Christ then did ask the Jews
why they did not assent
To His Fathers Words, the
reason He was sent
The Scribes and Pharisees
sought to convict The Son
Being not of God His
truths they would hear none
His foes accused Him of
being Samaritan
Filled with a devil and
speaking lying sin
Christ rebuked these men
for thus The Father doubting
Who slanders Son, The Father
too is striking
Twas no prideful glory
by the Lord ever sought
To beloved Father all
honor was brought
For those who keep the
sayings spoken by Truth’s breath
Live by Grace through
faith and never taste of death
Even Father Abram is true
seed of our Lord
Christ the Logos Son
ever begotten Word
The Jews rejected Jesus branding
Him a fraud
As I AM stood in flesh
only face of God
We rejoice to behold the
Trinity in One
In Christ’s Person and Life
our vict’ry is won
When done upon the cross
His sacred head did bow
Now feast with Him Who
sits on our altar now
