Follow Me (for Lent)
Here is a story of truth and grace,
of love revealed, life received.
Here is a saga of freedom and cost,
of pasts forgotten, futures begotten.
Here is biography of found and lost,
of paths taken, roads forsaken.
Here is a meeting of now and always,
of ashen face, heaven’s embrace.
Here is a testament of claim and call,
of heart’s gasp, Spirit’s grasp.
Here is a testing of desert and dreams,
of challenge spoken, powers broken
Here is a chorus of lament and longing,
of doubt singing, hope springing.
Here is a journey of step and stumbling,
of death walking, life stalking.
