To follow is a song that came to me back in February
And He Said
This morning as I awoke I felt suddenly alone.
Today just might be the day our Lord would call me home.
I couldn't help but feel that gnawing bit of fear,
that deep inside I somehow knew I did not properly prepare.
I've read the Books old and new, and understood the message.
And yet my heart was telling me the errors of my passage.
The path is clear, the light is bright, the end eternal life,
Our Lord has paved the way through all our earthly strife.
And He said:
"Pick up your cross and follow me, I have led the way.
Leave yourself behind, we won't be needing you today.
Pick up your cross and follow me, My love is there before you.
No matter where you are, I already forever adore you".
I said, "My Lord this cannot be, for I have gone astray.
How can I truly accept this love you offer me today?
For my soul has yearned to live your truth, since even before my birth.
And yet I struggle to stay the path while living on this earth.
And He said.
“Pick up your cross…
For you my Lord it is so simple to make the message clear.
What my five senses try to ignore, my heart will always hear.
I offer you that very heart for all eternity.
I give you all the love inside, so please please stay with me.
And He said.
Suddenly I felt a sense of peace, for I knew He heard my plea.
I heard Him say love others first to give your love to Me.
Now as I lay my head to rest, and thank Him for my day.
My joy is complete in His Trinity, for He provides the way.
And he said:
"Pick up your cross and follow me, I have led the way.
Leave yourself behind, we won't be needing you today.
Pick up your cross and follow me, My love is there before you.
No matter where you are, I already forever adore you".
Amen.
