I Will Teach Them Poem by Pete Rivera

Come higher now
And I will show you my design
Look clearly now
And I will speak to all mankind

I will teach them that their laws are unheard
I will teach them that their sound is faint as yuletide birds
I will teach them the ways of truth and of love
I will teach them to become pure as a dove

Stand by my side
As I am taken away
To a place upon the hill
What more is there to say?
I'm giving up myself for you

I gave myself up for you

Listen attentively now
As I am nailed to the tree
Breathe this air gracefully now
As I am lifted up for all to see

I will teach them that their laws are unheard
I will teach them that their sound is faint as yuletide birds
I will teach them the ways of truth and of love
I will teach them to become pure as a dove

Follow me
As I ascend into my throne in clouds
And take a seat
Because in moments these clouds will enshroud
You, with the glorious light
Of Heaven above
where my Mother and Father stand
