Follow Me
“Follow me” is the Lord’s wondrous command
My heart hearkens to with willingness’ glow
Being my privilege, divinely grand
As God’s dear child enjoying blessings’ flow.
Called to serve Christ by faith with willing mind
“Follow me” is the Lord’s wondrous command
I yield to since it’s sublimely designed
Marked by supreme compassionate demand.
Despite tests challenging tenacious stand
Faith clings to the Saviour Who props by His grace
“Follow me” is the Lord’s wondrous command
Gripping my soul around His sweet embrace.
Toward praise-filled triumphant reaching-out
My spirit is led toward promised land
While this truth I believe, devoid of doubt
“Follow me”* is the Lord’s wondrous command.
*Matthew 8:22 ... Jesus said unto him, Follow me...
