6-12 I spelled out your character in detailTo the men and women you gave me.They were yours in the first place;Then you gave them to me,And they have now done what you said.They know now, beyond the shadow of a doubt,That everything you gave me is firsthand from you,For the message you gave me, I gave them;And they took it, and were convincedThat I came from you.They believed that you sent me.I pray for them.I’m not praying for the God-rejecting worldBut for those you gave me,For they are yours by right.Everything mine is yours, and yours mine,And my life is on display in them.For I’m no longer going to be visible in the world;They’ll continue in the worldWhile I return to you.Holy Father, guard them as they pursue this lifeThat you conferred as a gift through me,So they can be one heart and mindAs we are one heart and mind.As long as I was with them, I guarded themIn the pursuit of the life you gave through me;I even posted a night watch.And not one of them got away,Except for the rebel bent on destruction(the exception that proved the rule of Scripture).
