Follow Me

A crowd of people gathered ‘round Him by the Sea of Gallilee
This man who healed the sick and made the blind to see.
Oh, that we had eyes to see Him
To mingle with the crowd
Ears to hear the words He taught them…..“Follow me.”

They say He ate with those shunned by the Pharisees
He told them man was not made for the law,
But had a higher destiny.
Oh, that we might have the mind to comprehend,
The privilege to call Him Master, Friend,
A heart contrite to understand His message…..”Follow me.”

News about His teaching traveled far and wide,
The Bridegroom waits to wed His Holy Bride.
Drink the wine of new life, cast away the old,
Accept God’s love made manifest of which you were foretold.
He tried to tell them about Gethsemane
One day they would deny, forsake Him, this he could foresee.

Oh, that we might speak for Him, His love embrace
To tell about Golgotha and His saving Grace.
Father , we thank you for sending your Son to
Live among men that we might know your love.
Let us remember also the sacrifice He made
That we might live free from sin. Amen.
