John 17:22-23 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
I love this scripture where Jesus included us who would abide in Him in His prayer in The Garden of Getheseme shortly before His trial and crucifixion.
What love He shares with us and Him and His Father.
In The Garden
______________________
I come to the garden alone, — While the dew is still on the roses, — And the voice I hear falling on my ear — The Son of God discloses.
CHORUS:
And He walks with me, and He talks with me, — And He tells me I am His own; — And the joy we share as we tarry there, — None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice — Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, — And the melody that He gave to me — Within my heart is ringing.
I’d stay in the garden with Him, — Though the night around me be falling, — But He bids me go; through the voice of woe — His voice to me is calling.
Charles A. Miles. 1913
