Mar Ivanios Poem by JOBY JOHN

In the land of rivers, where green trees sway,
A child was born to lead the way.
Where the people once confused.
With wisdom deep and faith so true,
God's own servant came into view.

Mar Ivanios, light of Malankara,
Guide us in love, lead us in prayer.
With truth and unity shining bright,
You showed the world the path of light.
O Shepherd strong, O heart so pure,
Your legacy will long endure.

From books and prayers, he drew his flame,
A humble soul who earned great fame.
He built a home on prayerful land,
With love and peace at heart's command.

Mar Ivanios, light of Malankara,
Guide us in love, lead us in prayer.
With truth and unity shining bright,
You showed the world the path of light.
O Shepherd strong, O heart so pure,
Your legacy will long endure.

He dreamed a Church where hearts are one,
Where east and west unite as breath.
He walked to Rome with courage bold,
A faith reborn, a dream retold.

He taught the world that love can teach,
That truth and justice both can preach.
His guidance still shape our lives.

Mar Ivanios, light of Malankara,
Guide us in love, lead us in prayer.
Through cross and crown, your voice we hear,
Still calling us to serve with cheer.
O Saintly soul, we sing your name,
And live to spread your holy flame.
