"I Want to Follow Jesus"
I want to see the Christ child, who was born
among the sheep. Follow in His footsteps, His legacy to keep. I want to
be His chosen one, how humbled i would be. To fish with James and Simon,
on the Sea of Galilee
I want to walk on water, feel His soothing peace. When
the waves are all about me, and He calls for them to cease. I want to stand
amongst the crowds, to know His mighty grace. See Him feed the multitudes
and gaze upon His face
I want to see Him heal the sick, and cause the blind
to see. Touch the crippled and the deaf, and cure the leprosy. I want to
sit with Jesus, beside Him i would dine. Next to John and Philip, at a
very crucial time
I want to pray with Jesus, and take away my fears. In
the Garden of Gethsemane, I'll wipe away His tears. I want to be with Jesus,
as He hangs there up above.On the rugged cross at Calvary, I'll shelter
Him with love
I want to follow Jesus, when the stone is rolled away.
To see the eyes of His disciples, as He slowly walks their way. I want
to go with Jesus, His radiant face to see. In a flame of blazing glory,
when He returns very soon for me !!!

Are you a disciple and a follower of Our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ or are you just a believer ? The first 12 disciples who spread
the Gospel Message 2,000 years ago throughout the world were committed
followers of Jesus. They were willing to risk all and give up everything
in order to be true committed followers of Jesus Christ. Are you only willing
to take the easy road and just be a believer. Or the hard risk-taking road
that Jesus is calling all Christians to, in order to live the life of a
disciple and a follower of Jesus Christ ? It is a big decision, and i believe
Jesus is calling all Christians today to be risk-taking followers. Jesus
is returning very soon. Are you living for just this world or for eternity
? Invest your life in serving Jesus, and He will have Eternal Rewards waiting
for you when you appear before Him in Heaven. Will Jesus welcome you with
" well done, thy good and faithful servant " ? That choice is you!
rs, eternity awaits your answer !!!
have a blessed day, Gary
