Will You Follow Me?

 

 The price to pay to follow Christ

The One who really cares.

Is not as easy as you would expect  

The price can be great to bear.  

The things you must give up  

To be called a child of God are not easy things.  

It includes possibly losing a friend or two.  

To be called “a Child of the King”  

 

You will face storms so mighty and great  

That alone you could never bear  

You will learn to trust in God  

Or lost at sea you’ll find yourself  

Away from the Master’s care

 

  Through the fire you will go through  

To get out all the crud from sin  

The fire is never an easy thing  

But we must go through it  

If victory is our goal, to win!

 

The list doesn’t end there, its only begun  

What price are you willing to pay?  

Are you wiling to die for Jesus your King?  

There will be a time that you very well may.  

What about the Bible, the Word of God?  

What would you give just to read His Word?  

Would you give your life trying?  

It may come to that, it isn’t so absurd.  

Are you ready to give your life to Christ?  

The One who died and paid the price?  

Are you ready now to answer the call?  

Don’t delay - you might forever lose your life.  

 

The other road may seem easy a first  

But in the end it is hundreds times worse.  

For as hard as following Christ may be  

It is the only road to true victory!
