John Puckett Poet Blank verse

If You Love Me

If you really do love me, 
Do what I say, said Jesus.
Don’t delay or put it off
To some other time
Only today is your special day
To do what I say 
So - do what I say today.

Tomorrow’s tomorrow
Completely unknown
Your strong expectation
Your highest of hopes
Your plans and intentions
No certainty know.

No matter how sure
You think you control
God alone knows the future
So give him your all.
Give time every morning
In prayer at his feet.

Discover how perfect
He’ll work out your day
If you will but listen
And careful, obey.
Yes, ‘Keep my commandments’
Through every new day
Discover your Saviour
In a precious new way.


“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15
