‘If You Want To Follow Me’

‘If You Want To Follow Me’

If you want to follow Me, don’t look away
There are things that you must see and feel
As you walk through life each day
Just look at the people around you
What are they going through?
What I offer you will astound you
Trust in Me and you’ll find that it’s true

I never promised you riches,
I never promised you fame
If you want to get the most out of life,
Simply go forth in My name
Live your life as I did,
Make it all about others, not you
Love and forgive, teaching others to live,
As God’s children, just do what I’d do

If you want to follow Me, don’t turn away
When you see the lost and hurting ones,
All around you every day
They don’t know of My grace or My love
No one has told them about Me
You can be the one who informs them
Imagine how joyful they’ll be

I never promised you riches,
I never promised you fame
If you want to get the most out of life,
Simply go forth in My name
Live your life as I did,
Make it all about others, not you
Love and forgive, teaching others to live,
As God’s children, just do what I’d do

Jesus, we all call You
We know we need You here
We know You have the answers
To our worries, our hate and our fear

If you want to follow Me, remember to pray
For the lonely, the sick, the dying,
For those who have gone astray
Your prayer doesn’t have to be formal
A quick whispered line will do fine
Just ask for help, I will answer
Because all who you see are still Mine

I never promised you riches,
I never promised you fame
If you want to get the most out of life,
Simply go forth in My name
Live your life as I did,
Make it all about others, not you
Love and forgive, teaching others to live,
As God’s children, just do what I’d do
