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

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”   John 14:6-7

I turn to You,

because You are all there is,

You alone have the truth,

You alone have the light;

everything fades

but You;

money,

objects,

security,

flesh,

cars,

homes,

mothers,

fathers,

brothers,

sisters,

sadness,

sorrow,

happiness,

joy,

buddha,

mohammed,

vishnu;

all the man-made gods and truths,

everything but You;

You alone have the words of eternal life,

You alone offer the hope of something more,

You alone speak truth, in a world of illusion and lies,

You alone are the way to the Father,

You alone took the burden of our sins upon Yourself,

You alone died that all might live,

You alone rose from the dead;

You alone are all there is.
