Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven.
And said Father the hour has come.
At last we see his own prayer to heaven, driven.
In its beauty and intensity, awesome.

And this , he said, is eternal life.
That they know you , the only true God.
Now we ourselves seek this life .
We ask only to know God.

And in heaven we will not know him as in a book.
We will know him truly ourselves.
We will see,  hear and profoundly look.
We at last will be truly ourselves.

We will be part of the everlasting prayer.
Now we too must send up our own prayer.

…..

We pray to heaven
As Jesus  prayed to heaven
And have our reward
