Everyone who acknowledges me before men.
The son of man also will acknowledge before God.
Are we , we ask , one of those men.
Will we be acknowledged before God.

Everyone who speaks a word against the son of man.
Will, says Jesus, be forgiven.
We pray , we do what we can.
We hope to be forgiven.

So the path is clear.
We must just acknowledge him.
We do not need to worry or fear.
We just have to believe him.

But we question and quibble.
Faith comes by nibble and nibble.

……

We acknowledge him
But it takes doubt and prayer
Just slow step by step
