Matthew the Apostle
One day Matthew met Jesus
as collecting taxes there he sat
Jesus called him to follow
in an instant obey he did just that
Just as Jesus accepted Matthew
so on a day, I came like Matthew too
receiving God's love from Jesus himself
and followed the saviour completely true
One day Matthew invited Jesus home
where they together shared a feast
the religious leaders hated all this
but the word spread mightily increased
Such a blessing to know Jesus
having His presence day by day
like Matthew, a disciple called
on the road eternally to stay
In many ways, Matthew is little known
like him, so many of us are the same
the important things is Jesus knows us
He wants us to be His living flame
( I have written on the person of Matthew the apostle and showing where I have learned from his life and testimony)
