Christian poem 'FOLLOW ME' by Stan Arney (Christart.com)

FOLLOW ME
by Stan Arney © 2007

Jesus asked each of His disciples to “Follow me”
What does that have to do with you or me
By accepting Him, you choose to follow Jesus as well
Study God’s Word daily to know what this does entail

Which means we are to follow His words and actions too
This will be the primary goal of everything we do
The Bible gives examples of how we are to proceed
We may not see the fruits, but at least plant the seed

Help others without expecting anything in return
That you perform God’s good works, your true concern
Through you, God will show His glory for all to see
That you love one another, God’s ultimate decree

Use your God given gifts to pass His Word along
Whether that be spoken, written, or glorified in song
Do not single out anyone despite the sin they commit
This at times will be difficult, I must admit

For God hates the sin, but loves every sinner
That we are to do the very same, Jesus did concur
You in turn, will witness the miracles of today
Remember to commune with God as you daily pray

We shall follow Jesus into the truly final frontier
It will be extraordinary, so death we shall not fear
Jesus was the light unto the world, now you are to be
To shine God’s message of love for all the world to see

Give God all the glory, for everything He does through you
His chosen path, is what you eagerly pursue
Life is what you make it, through experience you shall see
The glory of Jesus’ Father, if you simply “Follow me”.
