Rise and Follow - Re-Posted

Did You call out to me, Oh Lord?

Was that You that I heard?
At first I thought it was the wind,
Or just a passing bird.
 
I wasn’t quite sure what to think,

Although I understood

A voice was calling out to me

In words meant for my good.
 
The words were soft, but still I heard
“Rise up and follow me”.
Yet I could not be sure those words
Were truly meant for me.
 
For I have not lived perfectly,
Indeed I’ve not come near.
Surely You would not call to me,
And yet Your words were clear.
 
But if You truly meant me, Lord,
Despite my broken past,
Then I will leap to follow You
With no more questions asked. 

Matthew 10:38

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me
