All There Is

“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)   John 6:67-71

I turn to You,

because You are all there is,

You alone have the truth,

You alone have the light;

everything in this life fades,

but You;

money,

objects,

security,

flesh,

cars,

homes,

mothers,

fathers,

brothers,

sisters,

sadness,

sorrow,

happiness,

joy,

Buddha,

Mohammed,

Vishnu,

man-made gods and truths;

everything but You;

You alone have the words of eternal life,

You alone offer hope,

You alone speak truth,

You alone are the Way,

You alone took the burden of our sins

upon Yourself,

You alone died that all might live;

You alone are all there is.
