Being a Jesus Disciple
when one comes to follow Jesus
He gives you a standard to keep
this is not to gain His eternal salvation
for it is a gift allotted for His elected sheep
Jesus sovereignly calls you to go His way
no matter what it will ultimately cost you
for Jesus paid the ultimate price so dear
so His followers must also have to do
The life of self must need to die
no place for it as Jesus made clear
Christ God's son must be your king
being everything as one so dear
God's will is to walk the Jesus path
being filled by His spirit full and free
having the mind of Christ to bear fruit
showing His gifts that all would see
Be humble, meek, godly and righteous
full of His joy, peace and grace
looking to eternity to meet your Lord
on that great day look into His lovely face
(I have been thinking on What does it mean to be a Jesus "Disciple"? this is my conclusion)
