“Following Your Lead” (#35)

It seems so easy, Lord Jesus, to say “I will follow your lead.”
But when we realize the commitment required, for Your strength do we plead.
Following your example on Earth is not for those whose commitment is weak.
It requires us to be servants to all, and in everything to be humble and meek.
We are to be to everyone we meet as if instead they were to meet You.
They should see Your light in us and know that what we believe is true.
Even to death we are to walk in Your steps; we are crucified with You on the Cross.
For us, as Paul said, to live is You and to die is no loss.
We pray that You would strengthen us with Your Holy Spirit, and be with us
As we praise You now, and prepare for Heaven where we will forever proclaim You to be glorious.
