Poems of Lighthouse Bob

Peter #57



 
 He walked by the sea of Galilee as He pointed
    my direction and said, “Drop your nets
       and I will make you a fisher of men...”
 I said, “Lord, lead me!”
 And Jesus said, “Follow me...”

 He poured a basin of water and He dressed with a towel
    as I watched His body and soul wash
       away grime and filth from my weary feet...
 I said, “Lord, teach me!”
 And Jesus said, “Follow me...”

 He spoke with words of authority as He proclaimed
    for me to come and walk upon waters
       turbulently tossed in my sinking faith...
 I said, “Lord, reach me!”
 And Jesus said, “Follow me...”

 He suffered Calvary's chastisement without a word
    as our eyes met in humility
       when I could not bare that I denied Him...
 I said, “Lord, release me!”
 And Jesus said, “Follow me...”

 He died surrendering arms wide open to receive
    my life committed wholly to Him
       for His soul, will, and purpose in my life...
 I said, “Lord, forgive me!”
 ...And I picked up my cross to follow Him.
