So Much To Ask the Apostle John
The elevator button has got stuck
there doesn't seem any way out
here I am with a man called John
says he's an apostle, I don't doubt
Indeed this is John who knew Jesus
being his disciple and apostle so well
the writer of the gospels and 3 epistles
he is my favourite gospel writer to tell
I'd ask about his time on Patmos
there on his own in total isolation
how did he cope just trusting in God
but God faithfully kept him in his tribulation
John also received the book of Revelation
when spoken to by Jesus heavenly vision
which told John what was to cone to pass
even yet the world's to meet a collision
So much of Revelation hard to know
would love to pick his mighty brain
asking when is these things to come
when tears are gone and no more pain
John lived along with Jesus
always being close to saviour's side
what was it like to know him?
to know His presence always to abide
John stood at Calvary he saw it all
next to Mary standing with eyes fixed
how did it feel seeing Jesus die?
wondering what's to happen next
Then 3 days later at the tomb
looking in but nobody was there
then realise Jesus had told us so
John, so much you have to share!
(I am describing what it would like to be like to get stuck in an elevator with my favourite famous person and why, that is the apostle JOhn.)
