Talking With Jesus

It was along a seldom traveled path
we took a walk just He and I
Along the shores of the riverbed
under a cold, dark and clouded sky

He spoke of life as it should be
with love for sister and brother
Never anger, pain, hate or killing
just caring toward one another

For among my Fathers children
should be a love beyond compare
just as you would find in Him
if He were also standing here

My father sent me to this place
to teach of His wonderful love
It's not something he had to do
he could have kept me safe above

But with His unselfish sacrifice
He has shown his love is true
and He doesn't ask for much 
only a few simple things from you

Love others as We have loved you
and have faith that you I can lead
to the land of my Fathers kingdom
which has all that you will ever need

Pass on to others the words of my Father
let them know that the time is near
when they can go and be with Him
this precious news you need to share

For my Father so loved the world
that He freely gave to every one
A gift that can't be tossed aside
love given in the form of His only Son
