Follow Me

The decision didn't come lightly
Didn't know if it was real
To look upon this Man
Was nothing to appeal

The lies deceit, self centeredness
Is all I really know
To give that up to follow Him
Not sure if I should go

I saw the many miracles
And slowly changed my mind
Could He be the one
Should I leave it all behind

I'll see what He can offer me
And then I'll make my plan
Nobody needs to know
Not even this very Man

The things He did
The things He said
They all were done in love
If He is really who He said He is
That He's come down from above

Then why oh why is my heart so hard
He isn't changing me
All this vain resistance
I hope He doesn't see

The awful plan set in my heart
I can not overcome
The one in whom He speaks of
Could I be the one

The many things I did for Him
My works will get me through
I've seen how He forgives
My sins have been but few

I heard him say with broken heart
I'll show you whom I speak
Then dipped His bread into the bowl
And gave to me to eat

At once I knew without a doubt
The thing that should be done
He told me to go quickly
I knew I was the one

Guilt and grief engulfed my soul
The kiss could not erase
I hoped that he would save Himself
As I looked Him in the face

He called me friend
I don't know why
So much remorse
I couldn't even cry

And when it was done
There was no looking back
All I had left
Were some coins in a sack

You already know
What I am and who
It's too late for me
don't let this be you

The last thing I remembered
as I hung on the tree
Was His kind loving voice saying,
COME FOLLOW ME.
