- Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
- Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”
- I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors,
for you have given me wisdom and strength.
You have told me what we asked of you
and revealed to us what the king demanded. - I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
- Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
- Remember, you must not make any idols of silver or gold to rival me.
- I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.
- Rescue me, O Lord, from liars
and from all deceitful people. - But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. - The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me. - When doubts filled my mind,
your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. - But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me. - I hear the tumult of the raging seas
as your waves and surging tides sweep over me. - Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.
- But when you had eaten and were satisfied,
you became proud and forgot me. - But Jesus told them, “I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the one who sent me.”
- I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me? - You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.
- Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
- So we can say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper,
so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me?” - If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!
- Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.
- But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
- Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.”
- Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures.
