Follow Me.[ Matthew 4 v 18- 25 ]

           

                    Come follow Me [Matthew 4 v19]     

                           Will you come and follow Me
                            if  I but call your name?
                           Will you go where you don't know
                           And never be the same?,
                           Will you let My love be shown,
                           Will you let My name be known.
                           Will you let my life be grown in you,
                            And you in me?

                            Will you leave yourself behind
                             if  I but call your name?
                            Will you care for cruel and kind
                            And never be the same?
                            Will you risk the hostile stare,
                            Should your life attract or scare?
                            Will you let  Me answer prayer
                            In you and you in Me?.

                            Will you let the blinded see
                            if  I but call your name?
                            Will you set the prisoners free
                            And never be the same?
                            Will you kiss the leper clean,
                            And admit to what I mean
                            In you and you in Me?

                            Will you love the 'you' you hide
                            if  I but call your name?
                            Will you quell the fear inside
                            And never be the same?
                            Will you use the faith you've found
                            To reshape the world around,
                            Through My sight and touch and sound
                            In  you and you in Me?

                            Lord, Your summons echoes true
                            When You but call my name.
                            Let me turn and follow You
                            And never be the same,
                            In Your company I'll go
                            Where Your love and footsteps show;
                            Thus I'll move and live and grow
                            In You and You in Me.
