Whose Sandals I Am

Was at the shop where sandals were sold 
A pair of flip-flops was a sight to behold 
There were thousands of pairs to wear
All beautiful from a master none compare

 There were all kinds of shapes and sizes
 But this pair of flip-flops caught my eyes 
I grabbed them and put them on my feet 
As I saw a man waving across the street

He wore a beautiful smile
And was glorious to admire 
He said "Son what's your burning ambition
I need your new sandals to go on a mission"  

After years of training and apprenticeship
 I've come to a crossroad in our relationship
 I've a decision to make today
 In following the Master's way   

Jesus wants my new sandals today
 I'll let Him without having my way
 I'll give Him back this life He loaned
 I'll give Him everything I owned

And He said, leave everything and follow me! Definitely not an easy decision to make. Glad your training and apprenticeship helped you decide! ~ Best regards // paul
