21 And another of his disciples said unto him,
Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me;
Matthew 8:21-22 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
When Jesus calls you
come and follow Him
And He has set about
you plans and goals,
Don't step aside -
don't drop your voice mid hymn,
To do the work that's
meant for other souls.
You may think it
important that you go,
And there are times
appropriate for this,
But when Christ marks a
path to undergo,
To look behind while
plowing is to miss.
When Jesus lived He had
no time to wait;
Disciples fell away and
ne'er came back.
I pray when you're with
Him you keep His gait,
And let somebody else
take up the slack.
The presence of the Master trumps the dead;
Let others do the burying instead.
