And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
Mark 2:14
A simple invitation
with profound implication
“Follow Me”, the Rabbi bade
and another disciple made
his way behind his teacher
listening, obeying the preacher
Leaving empty seat behind him
with many footsteps ahead of him
the disciple pays attention
to the Master’s new direction
Jesus leading the way
in another growing day
The journey began with two words
that set a new command now heard
and a new path to walk
with a new way to talk
forward facing future
friendship building nurture
The Friend of Sinners calls us
to earnestly follow Jesus
Will people still listen and obey?
Will disciples give up and take His Way?
His teaching we must ponder
in His footsteps we must wander
“Follow Me” is what I heard
when I surrendered to my Lord
new journey ever before me
His hand writing my new story
I rise up, with purpose and speed
my Master’s words are all I need
