You cannot know
What lies ahead
On your path
Unless you have
Already been there
If we follow Christ
To our destination
He will be there
When we arrive
Matthew 16:24
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”
Psalms 16:11
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life.”
My Lord said to me
When I was a child
Follow me
And I will take you
To who you are going to be
And when we get there
You will find you are me
And you will see
That it was I
Who followed you
If we follow him
Truly follow him
Then we will end up
Right here
Where he is
I am
Who is not here?
Artist unknown
There are many lessons
To learn in life
The most important
Who we are
And no one can teach us
Because the only way
We can truly learn
Is through the life we live
By living the life of God
The one he gave to us
By becoming God
And Jesus Christ did that
St. Matthew 16:24
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Follow me
And I will show you
How to discover
Things you cannot see
I’ll help you look
Way down inside
To find the wonders
You can no longer hide
It’s not far
Just wait and see
If you’ll come along
And follow me
I’ll share your joy
I’ll share your pain
You will never be
Alone again
Follow me
To search for the treasure
That will set you free
And bring your pleasure
Close your eyes
And you will find
The treasure lies
Within your mind
Years of memories
Are stored away
There for you
To look at today
But the real gold
You will find
Is in your heart
Not in your mind
The buried feelings
That come with the memories
These are the real secrets
Which will set you free
These are the ones we cannot see
It won’t be easy
It might get rough
Because facing these things
Can be pretty tough
They can bring you
Pain and sadness
Fear and love
Joy and gladness
But you have the power
To hold onto the good ones
And sweep the bad ones away
Because these feelings are what made you
Who you are today
I’ve brought you here
But only you have the key
To unlock your heart
And set yourself free
So go inside
I won’t be far
Take a look around
And find out who you are
It may take some time
But once you’re free
I will take you to higher places
If you will follow me
Love, Jesus Christ
My Lord said to me
When I was a child
Follow me
And I’ll take you to
Who you are going to be
And when we get there
You’ll find you are me
And you’ll see
That it was I
Who followed you
For the Love of Christ
