My Journey to God

People of Lent

John the Baptist

I prepare His way,
Accept that I must decrease,
Fulfilling the prophecy,
This best man’s joy now complete.

Nicodemus

In the night, I came.
He said, “Believe in God’s Son.
“You must be born again
“To enter His kingdom.”

Woman at the Well

Ordinary day,
Bucket in hand, I bring,
I draw these words from Him,
“You will never thirst again.”

Man Born Blind

He opened my eyes,
I was blind and now I see
God’s works made visible through me.
“Lord, I do believe.”

Peter

Three times I deny,
He turns and looks at me.
This rock weeps bitterly,
Upon this rock, mercy.

Joseph of Arimathea

I ask for His body,
Bury Him according to custom.
After three days,
I hear that my Lord has risen.
